I am converting to power brakes but I want to stay with an original setup.  I know that the under dash pedal linkage for the Treadle-Vac power brake booster is different than the manual brake setup.  I think that the pedal arm is also different.  I don't have the 1954 Mercury Parts Book that shows the exploded views of these parts.  Can someone who has the parts book post the exploded view of the power brake pedal and linkage assembly for the Treadle-Vac.  As the '54 Lincoln used the same power brake setup, a picture from the Lincoln Parts Book would also work for me.  Thanks

I got real lucky and found the PB parts that I needed!  These cars stop real well with the Treadle-Vac setup.  The only downside is the single reservoir but I have never had a brake line failure.
