Dual brake conversion

[KennyOne]

I want to replace the 3 brake hoses and convert to a dual system.  Which master cylinder should i use?
I have a Town Coupe being shipped from Oregon that should be here in maybe 2 weeks.  It needs some mechanical work and I am sure I will be needing some things.

I would suggest this style conversion -

This style will bolt directly to your present spindles and keeps the OEM front end settings in spec as compared to a GRANADA SWAP.

Hopefully, you don't want to use a GM STYLE CONVERSION.

Do you want power assist?

You want to retain four wheel drum?

Do you mean FRT and RR DRUM DUAL CIRCUIT conversion?

I assumed he was just asking about a dual reservoir master (and associated brake line changes) to replace the stock single reservoir

[KULTULZ]

Need to know exact application (incl any previous modifications) and desired results to answer correctly.

Yes - " about a dual reservoir master (and associated brake line changes) to replace the stock single reservoir".   I might some day enjoy power brakes, and why not go to dual master at that time.  I don't mind bending some new brake lines, but I don't really want to go find small pieces to make it all fit, and work.

I have great brakes already, since my car, and the station wagons had the bigger brakes.

Brake setup

OK, I am cornfused (not that it takes a whole lot) -

You have a four wheel drum car and you want a booster and split circuits?

You bought the above Kit shown which included a GM CORVETTE style dual reservoir MC.

Why did you not plumb that MC into a dual system?

This is a 1957-1959 Ford Car Power booster kit. This unit is designed to bolt directly to your firewall and comes with the correct brackets to mount it, and it comes with a 1" bore Corvette style master cylinder and a 8" dual diaphragm booster. This set up will work for disc/disc, disc/drum or even drum/drum, you will just need to add a proportioning valve to suit your application. The mounting brackets tilt the booster and master slightly for better clearance. Be sure to check my eBay store for many great deals on any other accessories you need.

...just a cotton-pickin minute ...

All of this (kit) sells for what (see ad)?

Something is not right here ...

[KULTULZ]

Are you wanting further help?

You bought that complete changeover kit and only used the booster?

No one bites here (that I know of).

[KYBlueOval]

There appears to be a contradiction in the description of this brake kit.
In the first paragraph, it describes the M/C as being a 1 inch bore.
Under the "Features", it say the M/C bore is 1 1/8 inch bore.
Caveat Emptor = Buyer Beware
