Is there a dual master cylinder for a drum/ drum setup?
I can't afford to go to disc brakes yes, but I want the safety of a dual master.

Does it exist
how much
where can I order it?

if you have a 65 or 66 which im assuming you do, all you need is a 67 master for drum drum brakes. you can even buy the plumbing kit from cjponyparts.com to make it a bolt in installation with no custom bending. it cant be any easier!

OK, and here is another stupid question:

Do I want power drum or manual drum.
What's the difference?


And yes, it is a 65 coupe

well, personally i dont think you need power brakes, but certainly some people prefer them, especially those who drive alot or race their mustangs. basically, the difference here is 100 dollars to change to just a manual dual bowel cylinder and id say 300 or more dollars to go power. its just how much money do you want to spend?

I didn't think you could use a brake booster and duel master on a 65-66 car?

yes you can. everyone sells kits to do it. You just cant use an old monster size vacuum booster.

I will give you the one from my '68. It is in great shape. Free + shipping is not a bad deal if you want it. Otherwise I am just going to toss it.
Email me if you want it... dnolan@arborxeri.com

PS. see the other thread on MC going right now on the classic tech forum for my discription on how to use the original pushrod....

its mostly for saftey...because if you have the single master cylinder and it goes out on you you have no brakes, with dual, at least if one cylinder goes out you have either fronts or backs
