    6696, that's excellent advice from Dave. I was having similar problems, but with manual brakes. The roller chassis I bought came with a 1" Vette MC designed for a disc/drum combo. Needless to say, braking sucked. I almost needed a drogue chute to stop from 30 mph. I increased my pedal ratio significantly and changed to a 7/8" master cylinder. My '34 weighs about 24-2500 lbs, and the brakes are great - without a power booster..
