Brake System on a 78 to 82 Pro Stock car?

[John Pol]

I have a question hoping someone has a answer and how scratchbuild some of the items. On the Pro Stocks from late 70`s to 80`s when they started with the tube chassic. How are there brake sytems run like lines and what do they go to a brake cyclinder of some sort. If so how do you make the brake cyclinder?

I put this together from some files a guy sent me a while ago. Maybe it will help you see the brake system.

Nothing fancy, usually dual master cylinder [Chevy JL8] and disks all around. Manual of course.

Dale, like that cutaway drawing - lots of construction details there

sorry, I'm still tech challenged so no pics

The master cylinder will be under the floorboard with an access plate just ahead of the driver seat. Pedals are mounted at the floor level instead of under the dash like a passenger car. Pedals and master cylinder are like the mid-80's Monogram Pro Stock kits except the kits don't have much detaili this area... Should be some good reference on the chassis builder's web sites with an internet search.

Dale - the type at the bottom is a little hard to read. What magazine is that illustration from ?

The thread starter, John Pol, sent it to me a while ago. It's from a September 1979 Hot Rod Magazine article on Grumpy Jenkins.
