" I've seen this diagram but I haven't been able to figure out where to make the bends in the lines. I think found the lengths in the catalog with the part numbers, I wonder if someone sells the lines already pre-bent."

Basic PN 2269 will give you lengths to make your own from bulk tubing.

Also look @ Basic PN's 2352 and 2234 in your MPC.

I think the repros are BIRD dedicated. I don't know if there are repro's for the PASS CAR.

If someone had a take-off set, there are vendors that will copy the bends with correct hardware.

I like ClassicTbird, that's where I got all my vacuum hose kit from for my wiper motor and my heater for my Ford.  I think they also have the white stripe heater hose as well, I got mine though from macs as they had a black Friday sale.

Make sure you tell them you have a FORD rather than a BIRD.

Let us know.

Thanks Kultulz, I've seen this diagram but I haven't been able to figure out where to make the bends in the lines. I think found the lengths in the catalog with the part numbers, I wonder if someone sells the lines already pre-bent.

Here is a PARTS EXPLOSION-

Most of the lines are available re-pro.

Does anyone have any diagrams for the vacuum line and brake lines that attach to the booster. I also have one of these boosters and I'd like to install it just like it would have been by the factory. Also what parts of the booster would have been painted?

The amount of glass tops made to my knowledge made in 1955 was less than 2000 I think 1999 and in 1956 I think 603 were made . Not a good seller driving the car in the summer is like being a French fry in the McDonald's heat lamp. Best to drive in the evening . I have a curtain that pull across the roof but really not much help from the heat .

The production number I have for the 1954 Crestline Skyliner hardtop coupes is 13,344.

  Off topic question for you. I have seen a 1954 factory glass-top once or twice. Any idea how many of the Ford or Mercury

cars were built as glass tops?    Pete

I hope you didn't interpret my post as condescending/argumentative.

What I was implying is what you are planning to do is fine (IMO) to make the car more authentic in factory assembly detail.

That style/period booster should deliver 20% to 30% more line pressure than the manual brake system. The only problem now is finding a complete quality kit or trusted re-builder.
