Re: IML: 1960 master cylinder

["Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

@Paul:

Can you please explain to all of us why a dual master isn't necessary?
I think it will add a lot of safety, if one circuit fails there will be
another circuit that allows you to stop that heavy car!

Being the owner of a 1960 Crown I am still in doubts if I have to switch
over to a dualmaster cylinder or front disc brakes..

I agree with you that a well maintained standard system will do the job
perfectly, but there are no safeguards...
