If your concerned about your brakes, convert to a dual circuit system NOW.
It’s a bolt on conversion and MUCH safer than the old single systems, they
were really rather dangerous.
I did the conversion on the Crate.
I found that the front drums were also very inferior to the Disc setup, I
don’t have very many miles on them yet so maybe they will wear in but Ive
found that during heavy stops the car doesn’t want to stay straight.
I did the same thing on my 64 T-34, but went with a wide 5 disc kit (read
expensive), but I prefer how the car stops with it. It also keeps the car
looking stock from the outside, as it still has it's stock rims. A 4 lug
disc conversion would have been the cheaper way to go, but I would have lost
the wide 5 rims and stock hub caps.
Jim rebuilt the dual circuit master cylinder for me, along with hooking me
up with a later (longer) brake pedal push rod. But, I also replaced ALL of
the steel brake lines, hoses, and replaced the rear wheel cylinders and
shoes, and went with DoT 5 brake fluid. I felt, that since I was in there
rebuilding the brake system, I'd do ALL of it, and be done with it. : )
