In my first post I mentioned I'd converted to hydraulic brakes. No need to debate but it was the cumulative wisdom is this forum and Les Andrews Vol.II that sealed the deal. As you might guess it wasn't exactly like the book said but I'm very happy with the way it turned out. After about 50 miles of break in the car stops great. On thing I didn't mention is I used a vacuum boosted master cylinder. Peddle pressure is similar to a modern vehicle. I feel a lot safer on my daily trips around town. In today's world other drivers seem to have one eye on the road an the other on their smart phone. Whoa is more important than go these days!
