[Nobbc] Triumph Brake questions

[Scott Irwin]

I think you can use later model masters for 1500's after FH130000.  This is 
a dual system and it should be a bolt on trade although  the bulkhead and 
brackets are different shapes.  In any case,  I've been driving a '65 for 
many years without any problems in the hydraulics.  I even leave the level 
about a quarter inch low or so and that solves the fluid ruining the paint 
of the bulkhead issue.  The only modification I made was to change the 
Girling 12.P calipers to the later larger 14.LF front calipers.  This is 
also a bolt on except the backplate needs a trim and the rotors need to be 
for the Girling 14.LF calipers  The reason was availability of rebuild kits 
and larger pads.
