I’m wanting to retain my drum/drum brakes on my 55 Chevy 3100 First Series and mount a dual reservoir MC under the floorboard where the single reservoir MC is presently installed. For those that have made such a conversion, how did you run your brake lines to the front drums? Presently one of the original brake lines runs on the aft side of the front crossmember over to a T-fitting on the passenger side frame rail; this T-fitting serves the front passenger side drum and both rear drums. Would it be best to convert the T-fitting to a 90-degree fitting that exclusively serves the rear drums and fabricate/run a new brake line parallel to the existing one on the crossmember that would exclusively serve the front drums? Also, has anyone made a custom access door in the driver’s side floorboard for accessing a frame-mounted dual reservoir MC? I would be interested to see any diagrams and/or photos of your brake line routing and access door install. Thanks in advance.
