Beautiful car! But, I'd want to keep it that way and junk the Treadle Vac before it costs you your car. I can't stress enough that if you drive you car at all, it's an accident waiting to happen. Manual brakes are safer than that poor excuse of a master cylinder. I know I'm the minority here, since Craig dropped of the face of Packardom, but I know he'd concur with me. It's junk, it's dangerous, and I destroy every example I get my hands on. A modern dual master cylinder is so much safer than that piece of trash will ever be. Nice for a museum car that will never drive again, but dangerous for even a dirt road in the country.
