dual master cylinder conversion photos
I had posted replies on two recent threads regarding the dual master cylinder conversions and I'd mentioned on each thread that I'd post some photos of my recent conversion using the kit from ECI. Well, here are some photos of that conversion.
My conversion is on a '61 with drum brakes all around. The conversion was pretty straight forward, with the only hang up being that ECI didn't tell me up front that I'd need a residual valve. Getting a residual valve locally in Atlanta turned out to be a real challenge. Anyway, here are the pics (I hope; I still suck at getting my pics in my messages):

was wondering are you going to change the front drums to rotors? i 'm looking for a front end conv kit i only found i from ecklers but you can not use the stock rims they wont clear the calipers. do u know of a co that sells kits. great decision by the way 2 resivors are better than 1. w like to drag race and go to shows so sometimes we run the 6.70 15's but the brakes make us nervous @ the strip.

I'd love to add disc brakes and eventually even power to the brakes too (although I'd rather have power steering first), but there are so many other things that need fixing on this car that the "luxuries" will have to wait. It was great to see that pic of the power booster on the brakes. Thanks,
