[Roadsters] braking issue

[Gary J]

I have a 1966 with a single master cylinder. I just replaced it and the car's brakes work very well. I can lock up the wheels at any timeif I am not careful.

not really.B  got lots of different advice, but there aren't a lot of people 
who really know the pre 67.5 cars.B  it stops ok, but it takes some effort. 
the single master brake cylinder has to do a lot of work, and I think it is 
working the way it was designed.B  which is why they went to the dual 
cylinders in the later cars.B  I don't think you can compare it to a car 
which has dual cylinders, and certainly not with any car which has a brake 
booster.B B  so until I can compare it with another, I'm not sure I really 
have a problem.B  if there is anyone out there who has a pre 67.5 car, I'd 
like to hear from them.

Did this ever get resolved? What was the outcome/issue on this one?
