Will a  dual MC for a 69 corvair fit a 65.  Or do I wait for one to come 
from  a vendor.





First, there are kits already available. But, the stock parts can fit.  To do 
the best job you should have the complete trunk package with lines,  shuttle 
valve, everything. You will have to replace at least one fitting under  the 
dash. In the 65-66, the fitting split the single out let to feed the left  
front, right front and rear lines. The 67 replaces that with one that feeds the  
fronts only. You will need that fitting, or a plug for the stock outlet to the  
rear. Another single in-out fitting feeds the rear line. The 65 and the  66-up 
use a different brake line size to the rear. the 66-up is larger. If you  try 
to use the 67-69 fitting (from the stock dual master set-up) in a 65,  the 
fitting on the line to the rear won't fit. It will fit, with a little  tweaking 
at the front, on the 66. You could find a 66 line - you would need the  
splitter fitting at the rear as well. Or you can "Build-up" an adapter  for the 
larger line from the master to the smaller line to the rear of the 65.  The 
adapter also acts as an almost 90 degree direction change as well.  Let  us know 
what you do.
