MODIFICATIONS: | Replaced BTV master cylinder with 7" double diaphragm booster from Summit and single piston master from a 1967 VW Beetle with drum brakes (17mm bore). Parts are coupled with adapter plate of my own design/construction. Good stopping and pedal feel. Looks original from inside. Car came with Marvel Inverse Oiler installed. Rewired headlights with Bosch relays (Tyco 6V) and Wagner halogen lamps. The relays increased voltage to the headlamps from 5.4V (engine off) to 6.27V. | ||||
