BTV Replacement that should work for everyone
Posted by Craig Hendrickson On 2014/2/14 20:43:44
On my local friend Lance's 1955 Clipper Constellation, he installed (with some help from me) a replacement for the BTV that has:
1. Dual master cylinder.
2. Modern vacuum booster
3. Exactly the same brake pedal placement as the original.
What's not to like?
Here's a couple of pix of the final install. As Qs come up, I'll post the appropriate install pix as a how to. Also, I'll put the whole thing up on my 1956PackardPanther.com website.
Booster/MC/Plumbing installed from the firewall side:
Pedal mounting on the inside (passenger compartment, exactly the same location as stock brake pedal):
This is the ANSWER to the "BTV is a fatal accident waiting to happen problem"!
