Years ago I had disc brakes installed on my 1950 3600 and have been very=20
happy with them.  It now appears that the master cylinder has gone out=20
and I am unable to find one to replace it.  The closest I have found is=20
an AC Delco one that is identical, except for the bore for the piston. =20
The one I found has a 1 3/4 inch bore and the original has a 1 1/4 inch=20
bore, so it will not bolt up to the power booster.  I'm thinking maybe I=20
can change the power booster to one that has a 1 1/4 inch bore.  Has=20
anyone else had an experience like this?  Bill Hanlon?

Thanks!
