Not sure if there's a post already about converting to Porsche 356 "A" brakes all around and installing a dual circuit master cylinder into a '56 beetle.

I've had several inquiries about people wanting to "upgrade" their brake system with period era brake parts particularly Porsche "A" brakes.
While the "disc" brake systems should work "better" in theory, I have those "purists" that are insisting on running drum brakes.

Has anyone done this before but more importantly, have a source for the dual circuit master cylinder set-up? I'm already restoring (4) complete "A" brake assemblies
so when they receive the (4) individual boxes, all they need to do is pull them out and install them directly outta the box.

I need info. on which master cylinder to use with DRUM brakes and NOT disc/drum brakes. I've see some advertisers stating
"DO NOT USE WITH DRUM BRAKES" and vise/versa. Maybe some vendor(s) have a kit already? A dual circuit would be best....

Thanks
