Thanks for the info.  Did you notice any difference in brake pedal firmness with the braided lines?

Did you notice any difference in brake pedal firmness with the braided lines?

IMO ...  ... The difference in feel will not be realized depending on final line pressure (whether boosted or not). The reasoning for the hoses @ the MC (in this instance) is most likely appearance and flexibility between the MC and hard lines on the chassis.

Where the use will be felt is the actual brake hoses connecting frame to calipers/rear axle, again depending on final line pressure. Remember, in instances such as yours, line pressure is greatly increased whether boosted or not. Old tech hoses will expand somewhat.

I was successful in fitting the new 1957 battery tray and heat shield in my car.   I will post photos when I have everything painted and done.   I had to relocate the rear shield brace about 1" to the front and drill holes in the shield for the brakes lines.  It looks factory.  Tough to paint now.  It's been raining in Florida for weeks.

All done. Hopefully, no more battery boil overs.

Also check Earl's.  They have all kinds of fittings, including banjo's.  Speedway and Summitt carry them.

Nice job, looks excellent. I must say, I like the choice of master cylinders seen on this thread.

Absolutely Beautiful Detail Work!

I did not realize the battery temp difference with the shield installed.   It's definitely required in these old TBirds.

You might want to consider a heat shield under the master.  CASCO sells a longer one for the dual master.
