drum brakes - yellow zinc di-chromate

disc brakes - yellow zinc di-chromate - but painted gloss black with the power brake booster

Yes Bill and I painted my bendix booster and master cylinder set up on my 71 hemi cuda clone just like the factory did it as an assembly and the judges at the Nats deducted points for not having a plated master cylinder cap.
The master cylinder caps were painted just like the rest of the assembly. But we have no recourse
on final judgement calls ?

Were the brackets assembled on the rear of the booster before paint? I mean all pins, pivots, and brackets would have been assembled before paint up to the firewall reinforcement plate? Or would the offset brackets and pivot(fulcrum) have been added after paint so the nuts and pins would not be painted? Actually as I type(slowly) I realize they probably(speculation) would have been assembled after paint since other BB cars without the offset also got this booster and MC.

The NOS hemi booster assembly with the offset bracket I had was painted as an assembly altogether. Brad the Hemi boosters have the larger 3/8 studs in the back especially for the hemi raised offset brackets. The big block cars that received a bendix booster for power front disc were 5/16 studded boosters and were not used on hemi cars. The hemi cars were rasied bracket 3/8 stud booster only. The 5/16 and 3/8 studded boosters also have a different size stud pattern.

Ha, Beat ya

But I agree with you if that matters

Also,,,,,I think the non hemi 67 B-body disc brake cars use a similar style if not the same booster and brackets as hemi cars

almost , non hemi cars didn't have a bracket in the rear , the booster mounts directly to the firewall reinforcement plate .

Sorry John... but he is correct. I have seen many ( and removed them ) on non-hemi 67 cars with disc brakes. FYI to all... those 66-67 Hemi boosters have a different looking vacuum port. It has 2 pc. lock nut looking connection rather than a grommet and push in valve. To answer than OP.... the hemi units were painted as a complete assembly with the linkage and all hanging off the back. As far as the Nats judges not knowing squat... I can believe that! When I had my 70 Hemi POWER DRUM brake Charger judged at Carlisle they said my painted drum MC was incorrect. They thought that ALL drum brake cars should be natural metal. Which is true, EXCEPT for POWER BRAKE HEMI CARS.

Bill, it is a power disc car, So all gloss black for m/c, lid, and booster then?

Is all black correct for a '69 GTX 440 with power disc brakes? (4-speed if that even matters)? thanks.
