So I'm expecting to take delivery of my new narrowed beam w/ new everything, spindle to spindle. I know I have slight pulsing now so once I'm on my new disc brakes, if any rear issues I'd like to possibly get new drums to keep any pulsing out.
Suggestions for good rear drums??? (I'm on a newer syncro trans & therefore I assume early 60's drums/shoes)
Yes, I'll also have new dual-master cylinder w/ master dual reservoir and I think I'll put a hole in the top of the 2nd bubble, pop a grommet in & run line from existing spare tire well reservoir.
Any need to change front hard lines if they're good??
I think that's it but any other input appreciated! Oh and pic of my master if anybody cares to identify my current unit for me?? ...................

Front end when? any day now?? Fingers crossed..
New front end, I would do new lines, they can get mucked up and you don't want that in your new brakes. _________________ 1961 Ragtop, Autocraft 2783cc for street/strip 10k miles and counting...230.84 HP to the wheels thru Muffler 13.4 to 1 on E85

Any day now for sure.....unless it's not.....then it's "just 1 more week"...
Ooooh and hey....looks like he even has the hard lines too. Will grab while I'm there (if he does) or order some up if he doesn't.
