Re: '60 Disc Brake Conversion with Torsion Bars?

When you convert to disc brakes, you can not use your original master cylinder.

I have what you need to convert to power disc brakes as well as keeping your hydraulic clutch.

Also, I currently have a single cylinder master feeding both the brakes and the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder (SM420 4 speed manual.) I know I WANT to change to a dual master cylinder and add the power booster at some point, but do I HAVE to do it when I convert to discs?
