| | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 97 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 97 | I have the original manual hydraulic drum and shoe system on front (drum & shoe from '69 Camaro on rear) but am considering converting front brakes to disc for safety.
1. I know I'll have to convert to a dual master cylinder, but will I also need some sort of power assist?
2. My brake lines appear to be 13/64 inch outside diameter (I don't have a tool to measure precisely so I'm comparing to a drill bit diameter); will I have to replace them for a different size?
3. I want to leave rear brakes as drums, but brake light is activated by a flow or pressure sensor in the brake line; will I need to do anything to that or my rear brake hoses since I'll be increasing the overall pressure of the system?
4. Any recommended sources for upgrade kits?
Thanks,
Mike | | |
