Re: [T3] 1st of Many Questions - 66 Squareback


Youll need to change spindles and outer tie rod ends... will the master bolt
up??  I think so... Id convert to the dual circuit and did in the Notch..
MUCH safer!  your master needs to match the calipers though... ie: large
late caliper with late master or early calipers with early master.

> While getting to know my new girl yesterday, I noticed that the brake
peddle is solid as a rock with maybe an 1/8"of stroke.  I know this is not
right and I intend to go through the brake system and to upgrade to DOT5
Silicon fluid.

cylinder (Thanks again Jim) from my '71 Fasty on the '66 Square?  I realize
that the '66 is a single circuit MC and a single cavity reservoir, but I
would be willing to "T" the line for now and maybe add a dual cavity
reservoir in the future.  Are the calipers compatible?

Fasty, but I am years away from needing brakes on her and I can send the
Square's calipers and MC out to Jim for a leisurely rebuild in the meantime.
Boy, does that sound like I am rationalizing the cannibalization. 8^)
