<div>I installed the Denis Welch front disc conversion on my 1959 BN4 and installed an aftermarket pro portioning valve from Wilwood. This is a safer set up in general. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have installed a front disk brake conversion on my 58 BN6. The brake kit was supplied with the uprated calipers, which use the larger BJ8 pads (vendor description).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The system was bled and the pedal firm. Initial drives indicate very little front brake support.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The next recommended move was to replace the rear drum brake wheel cylinders, from 1” to 5/8”. That was done with no recognizable improvement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The next move is to switch out the master cylinder from ¾” to 5/8” as per the non-servo disk brake BN7.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this case should the push rod length be changed as well to get increased fluid into the front disks?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or is a proportioning valve a better way to go?<o:p></o:p></p>
