57/58 Brougham brake linkage

[INTMD8]

Looking to see if anyone happens to have a picture of how the stock brake booster is connected to the brake pedal linkage and how it's actuated.  Thanks!

I don't know if this picture can help. The booster is only connected by a tube from the master cylinder; then the amplified presure is distributed to the wheel cylinder from another tube coming from the booster.

Thanks Roger. That does help but more specifically I was looking to see how the mechanical linkage connected to the booster.

I have a rod coming off of the brake pedal that goes through the firewall which attaches to what looks like a bellcrank type assembly but it's all just hanging there. (and I can't visualize how it would work).

Hi Jim,

Look on page 8-6 of the 57 service manual as it has a detailed drawing of the pedal assembly.  On the next page, it shows the complete system.

Thanks David, I should have looked there.  Interesting system in how it's a hydraulically actuated booster. I was trying to picture how the pedal would mechanically actuate the booster like in later cars but that is not the case.
