I'm trying to order brake rebuild parts and want to make sure I have all my info straight ahead of time. Apparently this year model had multiple suppliers for the m/c... the shop manual makes no mention of this. What sort of master cylinder/booster setup is this? Bendix/Delco/other?

I apologize for the quality of the photos, they came off of my cell phone.

Well... I just got off the phone with Kanter. In 1954 the power brake units were either a Kelsey-Hayes unit or a Bendix Hydro-Vac. They don't carry parts for either of them.

Anyone have any suggestions?
