The Honda unit should be second choice.

Those wanting to convert should use Erics Ford conversion. It's GREAT!!! NO BUTCHERING of OEM platfom necessary except to elongate holes about 1/16 inch in the mount for the parking brake mechanism and relo the PB relay. I would prefer a single stage cylinder but have not found one yet. PRobably a late 60's F single cylinder will work.

The Honda unit was a first conversion attempt by Craig and then me. It works ok but creates a bit of a hard pedal due to the 13/16 piston in the mc. Also has very short stroke. It's ok, it works, but leaves a bit to be desierd and believe Craig will agree also.
