Awesome, thanks for the info. It looks like Wilwood makes a kit that includes the drum style parking brake.

That looks like it would work. It does say 2.50 offset but I'm not sure if that means it adds 2.5" overall or if it's the offset to something else. Might want to check into that to be sure what that is.

Yeah, I am not sure either. I had planned on calling Wilwood once I had a better understanding of my cars setup. I know I won't be able to answer some of the basic questions they will ask.

Wish I could help more with what master cylinder and booster you have but I really don't know much about that particular one. I'm not a fan of power brakes in cars like these but a local FFR owner has a booster somewhat similar to yours and I think his is from a Buick Grand National. Might be something to look for.

Yeah, knowing what master cylinder I have would be super helpful. I am trying to get in touch of the guy that built it over at Pacific Roadsters. Hoping I can connect with him and get a lot of questions answered about the car. I have had the car up on my Kwik-Lift rolling around on a creeper trying to write down any part numbers or part names. There is a part number on the brake booster but its barely legible and I have not come up with a match anywhere yet.
