Well, if I understand the question right.... I put a dual master cylinder
into the break system on my '49 and find that it works quite well without
any further add-ons. I mean, how much breaking power do you really need in
a vehicle that can't go much over 55 MPH anyway?
Now, if somebody could help me figure out why the brakes squeal in the last
2 or 3 MPH of stopping, that would be helpful....
