My "NEW" mc costs $35. I went to one mounted on my firewall. Are you running manual or power brakes? I think Scarebird used to sell a bracket for manual brakes to mount a new style dual mc. I could see your pount though if you wanted to leave it in a stock configuration.

There manual. Yea I want to keep this thing pretty much original
As it's all there. The only thing I've changed is the tri-power.
I found an original 57 TP complete so I thought it would look
pretty cool and un-suspecting intill you pop the hood. ha ha
I got my carb kits today so I'll get started on that part this
weekend then I can get the motor on the test stand and run
It to break it in and check for any problem. I'll order the master
next week and maybe the new gas tank to. Then some exaust
work and-and-and-and that should do it.LOL

Well I'm finally able to get back on the 57.
I put the master cyl on today and I'm going
to try and get the motor all buttoned up so
I can get it on the test stand and run the
motor to break in the cam. I bought a new
gas tank too just to make life a little easier.
I'll keep posting to let you guy's know how it's going.

Man this brake system kicked my butt.
I had to go back true every connection and re-tighten each and every one.
I've used about a half gallon of brake fluid so far and the only line that I
didn't change (cause it looked like new) sprung a leak. ARGGG.
Well I replaced that line and finally got the brake system finished.
I still have to do a little more bleeding to be done with it.
Now I can button up the motor and get it ready for the test stand.

You got to love the car restoration hobby to put up with this much fun. Murphy's law is always in effect.............. ask me how I know. Your Poncho will be fantastic when you get it on the road, your head will swell with pride and your hands will be unable to hold the steering wheel because of al the tape and Band-Aids that keep you from bleeding to death
