Frankly, IMHO, it sounds like a some type of Rube Goldberg machine.

Simple is always better!!!

But I do agree with you that we it would be nice to come up with some modern replacements for folks that are using their Packards as daily drivers.

Has anyone tried either a underfloor M/C setup or a underdash unit? Both would keep the unit hidden, and they can both be bought through any of the major aftermarket brake vendors. Just a though. If you look at the manual brake linkage, it acutally pushes backwards (like an underfloor setup) and then uses a lever toggle to multiple the force forward to the frame rail mounted M/C.

I would be happy to find a direct bolt in replacement for the single frame mounted manual m/c to a dual system.
