Craig,

I have been following the BTV threads with considerable interest and I also checked out your blog with the brake conversion a while ago. There is no way I am going to go with BTV or any other single system.

I am hoping that if folks looking to get upgrade/conversion from BTV to dual system master cylinders generate enough noise, perhaps a Packard kit might become available from MPB, Inline Tube, SSBC, etc to get a standardized conversion.

Maybe several Packard owners could get together and order a BTV conversion kit at the same time to make worthwhile to one of the aftermarket brake guys to offer a Packard kit (and maybe get us a pricing break).

I would also like to see some dual master cylinder guidelines put up for both drum and disc brake applications. We are dealing with different pressures and pedal ratios for self-energizing and disc brake. I for one am not yet comfortable trying to interpret what I will need to do a technically correct conversion from BTV.
