Re: BTV replacement

Maybe a simpler and easier way to go would be to replace the BTV unit with a conventional master cylinder. I had this done on my '55 Clipper. It has the coil and leaf spring suspension so does not have the space problems the TL cars have. The brakes work easily and the effort to use them is most acceptable. The pedal height is no problem. I believe the mechanic used a MC from a '51-54 car. There is a good supply of these parts available. The car also was converted to a manual shift 3-speed transmission at the same time. The car does not have power steering either, just a neat and simple V-8 Packard.
