1955-57 Ford Thunderbird Legend HP Series Front Disc Brake Kit and Manual Master Cylinder Kit

Achieve a complete braking system overhaul with the Master Power Brakes Legend HP Series Front Disc Brake and Manual Master Cylinder Conversion Kit. This all-in-one package combines the premium Legend HP disc brake kit with a new manual brake system, giving your classic 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird a modern braking setup that delivers superior reliability and enhanced safety with a confident pedal feel.

HP Performance Features:

This kit stands out with key upgrades for enhanced braking performance and durability:

• Slotted and Drilled Vented Rotors: The 11-inch vented rotors are slotted and drilled for improved heat dissipation and pad performance, while a zinc wash finish provides corrosion resistance and a sharp, aggressive look.

• Braided Stainless Steel Brake Hoses: Replaces standard rubber hoses with durable braided stainless steel lines, which resist expansion under pressure for a firmer, more responsive brake pedal feel.

• Ceramic Brake Pads: The kit includes high-quality ceramic brake pads, which offer superior stopping power and less dust.

Dual Reservoir Manual Brake System for Enhanced Safety

Converting to a dual reservoir master cylinder is a smart safety move. If a failure or leak occurs in one brake circuit, the other remains functional, allowing you to safely stop the vehicle.

• 1-inch Dual Reservoir Master Cylinder: A new master cylinder provides a complete dual reservoir system for modern safety.

• Adjustable Push Rod Kit: Ensures a precise fit and proper pedal geometry.

• Combination Valve Kit: Included with hardlines from the master cylinder to ensure proper pressure distribution.

• Brake Lamp Switch Kit: A complete and functional brake lamp switch kit is also included.
