After a recent tour (in my other car) that included 9000+ foot elevations
and 23% grades, I have begun to consider converting the 66 B to a dual
circuit master cylinder brake system. It is bad enough when the brakes fade
in mountain driving -- the complete absence of fluid pressure in the case of
a failure is a terrifying concept.
I was wondering if anyone had completed such a project, and what was
required in the way of plumbing. Certainly one approach would be to install
the complete MC, hard lines and safety switch from a 68-74.5 MGB. But
possibly not all of these components are strictly necessary. It also occurs
to me that there might be an alternative MC available that was not quite so
costly.
