Re: Booster for discs

FWIW, for over 9 years, my approach has proven that it works. Also, I have disc front brakes on my 55 Pat, but that is not necessary as IMO the problem with the Packard brakes is the BTV.

Anyway, with a new modern dual master cylinder with booster and front disc brakes my 55 Pat WILL STOP when required. That's a good thing when the "rice rockets" zoom in front of you on the freeway at 70+mph and then slam on their brakes for whatever reason. If you don't drive your Packard much, then it probably doesn't matter, but I do drive mine alot, so being able to reliably stop is IMPORTANT to me & mine.
