converting to dual master cylinder questions

This just was posted recently on the Comet East site. Looks to be almost exactly like you would do on a Falcon.

That's a well-done article. I really appreciated all the assistance and advice I got from this site when I tackled this job. It was not too hard, and not too expensive, and is much safer now.

The article is well done but I think neglected to mention the trouble with finding the 8" lines with the 1/2-20 and 9/16-18 thread sizes found on the new Master Cylinder.

You can use adapters - like those found here:

or use the correct size tube nut and just reflare the 8" tubes - found here:

If someone finds the 8" tubes with the proper size fittings for the master cylinder on one side and the little guys on the other, please post.

For the short brake lines needed for the conversion, I got this kit from CJ Pony Parts, which is actually designed to convert a 65-66 Mustang. I had to rebend the lines some, but otherwise they fit perfectly with the right size fittings on each end.

They also have a brief but pretty good tech article for doing the swap (on a 65-66 Mustang) on the CJ Pony Parts website.

EDIT: For some reason that first link doesn't work, but if you click the second one, there is a link at the bottom of that page that will take you to the page where you can order the parts.
I got my master cylinder at Napa. They were out of the brake light switch that mounts on the brake pedal arm, so I went over to Autozone and got that.

This is great! The first link didn't work but the second took me to the right spot. It's worth the $17.00 to avoid the adapters. This makes for a cleaner look with less potential for leaks. Thank you.
