Single to Dual Circuit Brakes

[Rod Schneider]

Could someone point me to the information I'd need to convert my SWB single circuit brakes to the dual circuit system? I remember seeing something here a while back, but I'm having trouble locating the thread.
Thanks.

Single to dual master cylinder...

Found this old thread. Use Warren's comments (Early S man) to do the conversion.

I wonder if dual circuit systems are all that great. I have blown two brakelines over the past few years due to corrosion (another rant about crap quality could go here) and the brakes are gone after about one pump of the pedal. A friends' father tapped the nose in his truck when it happened to him. I would say a well maintained single system is better than assuming a double system will save you.

You hit the nail on the head when you said 'well maintained'. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and if the system isn't flushed periodically that moisture will rust the steel lines from the inside out. Rust doesn't care if its a single or double circuit.

Call Will Pringle at classic & speed parts. He makes a kit which uses the original single circuit reservoir. It'll save you from having to buy the dual circuit lines ($$$).
