Re: Converting BTV to manual brakes...

Randerson, I had Ross convert the BTV system on my 55 Super Clipper to a non-boosted manual brake system. He used the pedal assembly and master cylinder from a 51-54 Packard. The brakes worked quite well and there was good pedal mondulation. I would think there would be enough Packards from these years with parts that you could use in a conversion. Of course you will want to rebuild the master cylinder. Like you, I wanted to avoid any problems with the BTV. He did this work while converting the TU to a manual shift transmission. Another problem avoidance change.
