Cobra_gt350 > Call companies like Master Power Brakes or Stainless Steel Brakes and a proportioning valve specifically for that combo. You can also use the dial type "proportioning valve", which is really just a pressure reducer. It's a lot cheaper and easier to install, but doesn't work quite as well. -- ..boB 2006 FXDI hot rod 2001 Dodge Dakota QC 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver 1965 FFR Cobra - 427W EFI, Damn Fast. |

66 DISC BRAKE QUESTION
My 65 came with manual disc front/drum rear, but over the years the
oem disc were scavenged. They were replaced with after market front disc, with a dual reservoir and power (glad I added the power). I stayed with the rear drums and for a daily driver, I am quite satisfied leaving it that way. A. Definitely you want the dual reservoir unless you are trying for concours. It's a modern safety upgrade. B. You only need the proportioning valve, and I highly recommend the adjustable over the fixed. There are units which serve multi purpose (proportioning and distro). C. You can stay with rear drum and upgrade at some point in the future if it's a money situation, or convert now. There are advantages to staying with the rear drum, but much depends on how you intend to use the car. D. I didn't do it yet, but I would recommend upgrading the front brake lines to steel braid due to some issues with rubbing/wear of the rubber hoses.
