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.

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

Let us know.

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.

" 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 could cut, bend and flare my own lines but I don't entirely trust myself in fabricating a set of brake lines that would be safe. I started looking at Classic Bird's listings but I haven't looked through it all yet. I'll try to call them next week to see if they indeed have tubing for the passenger cars.
I've been planning to install the booster for the last 4 or 5 winters. Hopefully I'll get it done this winter.

I was just looking up some Parts on Tee-bird.com. They list a complete Power Brake Installation Kit for 55-56 Passenger Car. No price-Enquire. They may or may not have them but worth a Phone Call to ask. 1-800-423-3723. Ten Years ago they were selling them and it was less than $600.00 for complete Kit. No Idea what they would sell for now if they have any in Stock. Might also be worth a Phone Call and see if they have pre-made Steel Lines for Installation.  

  

actually, the Thunderbird and the passenger car are different than just the bracket.  the metal tube that goes from the front side of the booster canister to the breather is different between the Thunderbird and the passenger car.  If you are looking for a rebuilder, Karps Power Brake service in Upland California bought most of Midlands inventory when they quit producing these units.  They can also re sleeve your master cylinder to factory specifications.  

Here You Go-

AF 2352-B Tube Assy - MC TO BOOSTER SERVO - 55/56 FORD

They also have the SERVO To Bake Hose Line - AF 2234-C -56 FORD



Seems they have about everything to restore the installation.

Thanks Kultulz, I think I found the lines I need at Mac's. I couldn't find the brass fitting for the vacuum line that goes at the back of the intake manifold. I'm going to try to make a complete inventory of the parts I need for the installation.

Here's the booster I have and the hardware that came with it. I haven't figured out where some of those brass fittings nor some of the bolts and washers go. It only needs two bolts to attach to the bracket and none the bolts fit the bracket holes in the booster body.
