On my 53 3100 Wilwood recommended the 8" duel diaphragm booster. I have 12.88" disk, 6/4 piston Wilwood calipers. Master cyl is 1 1/8". I also have a MP vacuum pump due to my blower. I don't know what all that means I just thought I would throw it out there. This was custom designed by Wilwood over a few weeks and many phone calls at no charge. Then they sent me to Summit with part numbers to buy the parts because they said they were less expensive, $650 less for all of the major components so about 10%. I ask them why Summit was less money than buying direct and they said "It's not our thing and they sell a lot of brakes". Thank you for your time.
