[FWDLK] Brake Conversion



Hello everyone,

Since Jason's brakes failed, and even though I have
already replaced the two front brake hoses and intend
to replace ther rear and the master cylinder hose, I
have been seriously considering changing the sytem to
a dual system (or whatever you call it).  If I
understand correctly, all I need to do is replace the
master cylinder with a dual model, run a separate line
to the rear to isolate the rear from the front.  I'm
handy enough to run a new brake line (familiar with
tubing benders, cutters, flaring tools, etc) so I
don't think this will be much of a problem

Here's what I don't know:  Is there "special" master
cylinder I need to get? (my mechanic says it has to
match properly with the system or you can get too much
or too little pressure) Where do I get the new
cylinder?  Are there any other considerations I didn't
menion above?  What else do I not know about this
project?

While I'm at it, any help on locating new shoes and
wheel cylinders would be appreciated also.

Thanks

Joe and Jason
