Single or double diaphragm brake booster
I am finally getting to the point of putting the disk brakes on my '54 and also updating the power brake unit. I have never liked the Tredlevac unit and it needs to be either rebuilt or replaced. I am planning to go with a modern power booster (I had said this a couple of years ago but did not get to it. Now I have PLENTY of time!) I am looking at either a 7 in. single or double diaphragm unit. It will be a tight fit widthwise regardless. Has anyone else had experience with double vs. single? from what I have read, double is more efficient, but single is OK with disk/drums

Here is info on Power Brakes I installed on my '53. Don't know if it is applicable to '54.
BUT recommend seat belts ( including shoulder) if you install.

Thanks, Richard but my '54 came with power brakes and your unit is like a hydrovac using a remote booster. The '54 Tredlevac was similar to the modern setups with the booster on the firewall.0

Ive installed GM Power Booster on my Hudson's. The latest one was a 2004 Chevy Cavalier or Malibu with swing pedal. I agree you need Seat & Shoulder Belts afterward...
