1954 R110 Master cylinder?

[wasaracer68]

Hello all. So I received no ideas for my fuel tank issue. Maybe someone will help on the Master Cylinder. I read an old article where someone claimed a master cylinder from a 1970 Dodge truck would interchange and also create a split front / rear circuit. I have compared the m/c from each application and don't see any way that they could be compatible. An oem replacement is available from Raybestos which I will buy unless someone has a better recommendation. Simple manual front and rear hydraulic drums.

Unless you're doing an entire system upgrade, such as a four wheel disk conversion that comes in a comprehensive kit, then I think sticking with OEM replacement parts are generally you're best course. Brakes are not an area that you want to experiment with trying to make mismatched parts work. As for your fuel tank question, its like you said. Not many of these trucks around. Outside of sourcing what may be a hens tooth donor part, one is generally left to do the old tape measure and wrecking yard dance. Or, if you have the fab skills to make a custom fuel cell or deep enough pockets to pay someone with the skills to make one, those can be options too.

OK, Thanks for the response.

Look at Rock Auto for a master cylinder as they have them for about $105. I believe that the fuel tank is junk yard search or pull the old one and get another that fits.

Question for you - can you tell me what I'm missing to connect the four lines shown in the attached picture? Driver side front brake hose ties into the banjo type fitting but I think I may have lost or thrown away an important piece. I'm stumped and need to find an R-110 to look at.
Thanks. Please respond to direct2dj@gmail.com
