Abstract

An assembly of a master brake cylinder and an associated power cylinder of larger diameter, disposed in front of the dashboard of an automotive vehicle with an extension traversing that dashboard, is held together by a flexible retainer such as a strap or a wire embracing the master cylinder and at least part of the outer periphery of the power cylinder under tension. The extremities of the retainer may be anchored directly to the dashboard and its center part is braced against the front end of the master cylinder by an adjustable tensioning device.
