Hello,

I've been replacing all of my old braking system components and am left now with just the booster and master cylinder to replace for my 1972 Challenger.  I have power front disc brakes and rear drums.

I'm thinking about going with a Stainless Steel combo I found and am curious if anyone has had good (or bad) experiences with this one?

Never tried one but the design is using a GM master if that matters
 I would be more inclined to use the Later Dodge truck 2 bolt Alum master

Thanks Chryco.  Do you have any suggestions on a part # or supplier?  This is the only 1 that Summit carried and I'm worried about a good fit, if it's using a GM master.

this is more difficult as you would need a 2 bolt booster , I have a local rebuilder here that can help but not sure what might be available to you , the master is easily obtained through any local parts store from a rebuilder like Cardone

That's good to know.  I was thinking about replacing both my booster and master at the same time and buying them together with something close to the orginal equipment to ensure the best fit.
