I have recently acquired a 1960 TR-3A and am in the process of going
through the various systems to make sure everything's "up to snuff" so
I can enjoy the car on the road (versus in the garage).
I'd like to know if any of the list members are aware of a brake
master cylinder upgrade/swap/conversion that would provide true dual
brake circuit capability for my TR-3A? I have made this upgrade to my
356 Porsches and I enjoy the piece of mind it brings while driving.
There's nothing quite like the sinking feeling one gets when they
depress the brake pedal and it goes to the floor while the car
proceeds along its merry way because a rubber brake hose has broken
and the whole system drains!
At least with a dual circuit system, you have the expectation (barring
a total failure of the master cylinder) that half of your brakes will
still function. Any advice or information would be appreciated!
