Does anyone have a suggestion for a “bolt on” replacement for the Kelsey Hayes set up on our 55 Fireflite 2 dr ht?
Our reservoir cap was snapped off and the reservoir full of trash. We’d like to go back with a modern, dual master cylinder set up.
Thank you!

I recommend having your booster and master cylinder rebuilt by Harmon Classic Brakes. They have reproduced most of the seals necessary for a rebuild of both the master cylinder and booster. They also have reproduced the cap. If your master is nasty, they will sleeve it.

I bought their complete kit for my 55 Desoto and rebuilt both the master and booster. Work fine now.

Thanks Ron! We’ll look them up! 
Harmon Classic Brakes has the '55 Kelsey-Hayes kit listed on eBaY:
