I installed an aftermarket dual M/C and booster assembly on my 57. What I did was remove the inlet air chamber that the original master cylinder mounted on and built a re-inforcement inside the chamber, then anchored the assembly to the firewall with all thread to make everything solidn before re-installing the air inlet and booster with master cylinder.
