Dudes,
I gotta do a brake job soon, and I need to replace my Master Cylinder. I was wondering if any of you guys had used a '67 Dual Circuit MC on your '66 or earlier bus... I would like to have the dual circuit for obvious reasons...
anybody know if it'll bolt right up?

| Go to http://www.type2.com and click on library, then brakes. You will find an article on it there. |

OK, Type2.com had some good info,
but anyone out there actually do it?
It seems pretty involved...

Why not go with the wolfgang brake conversion using an adapter and the late baywindow master?? I have this set up and it rocks hard core.

The conversion kit is really easy. Except you will have to modify your splash pan to fit over the second switch. It pokes out the bottom.

Yeah cut out a hole for it. I haven't done it yet. I just left mine off. The late model MC set up is WAY cheaper than going with a 67 MC. All the kit is is a spacer with longer bolts. Nates water art has great instructions.
I lost the link...anyone?
good luck,
Brian
