Mine is a 60 and the M/C i got from autozone was for a 67. Used an adapter plate from the good captain and the brake rod from the clutch side of old stock master cyl. The old brake rod was too short. Brakes work pretty well now. Tried to delete the next two blank posts, but had a misfire of some kind. Sorry.

Did you keep your clutch hydraulic, I mean did you get the Capt.'s kit for maunal 60-62?
