    Default 1948 Ford F1 brake questions.

    About to start work on my friends 48 F1 its been modified a little, its now got a 350 Chevy\trans\ back axle for starters, but whoever did this made it near impossible to drive atm as the brake pedal and accelerator pedal are now both to the right of the column [as original in fact the clutch pedal is under the carpet ] which is fine for a manual drive, but a real death trap when its an auto. Unless of course your deformed in some way and you like sitting side saddle.
    He has [amongst other stuff] bought a CPP firewall mounted brake booster with combined proportioning valve attached. For one theres no guide i can find to fitting this, i assume you line it up with the firewall as best you can?
    The front brake pipe union fitting [where they attach at the master cylinder and at the brakes] are very tiny in size, does anyone know what size they are and what size is the brake pipe used? The rear axle is also chevy but at least the fittings are modern sizes so should pose no problem.
    We are in the UK btw so any help would be great, thanks.
