Finally getting to it!!! 1970 Duster 340
I thought about having my original master cylinder refurbished for use on the Duster. I got a price of about $160 to have it completely gone over. Instead, I opted to go with a master cylinder from a 1973 Duster with power brakes. From what I have researched, the smaller piston size should help with better braking. I figured that I would sacrifice 100% originality for better safety. I located a new Bendix unit from Rock Auto for about $60. It arrived bright and shiny but I decided to paint it black like the original. I also purchased an adjustable master cylinder push rod from Dr.Diff to reduce some of the pedal travel. The master cylinder push rod is a quality piece of work.
