The fact is hundreds of thousands of vehicles ran around for decades with this type of braking system, and I don't recall seeing headlines in the papers every morning about the horrible accidents caused by this braking system. That being said we have the option of upgrading that system to a dual master cylinder braking system giving us one more layer of protection against accidents. For vehicles such as yours with a hydraulic clutch and having the brake master cylinder and clutch master cylinder in a common casting, converting to a dual master braking system can be a challenge. I am glad you found something that will allow you to convert to a dual master cylinder braking system. Now to track down the part you referenced so that I may educate myself. | | |
