Re: front disc brakes and a dual master cylinder

Disc brakes are nice but alot of the period stock wheels won't work with them. The conversion guys don't like to tell you that before you buy them.
So if you change, you need to check, you may not be able to use the stock rims/hubcaps. I had to go dual master only to retain the stock rims on my Cad. Then you have to be concerned with the wheel cylinders and the added pressure. I found the post war stock Packard brakes stopped very good for being manual brakes but at higher HP in the later models, they may suffer.
