No need, I've already done it.  <grin!>

My '64 500 track car has late model brakes all around.  Putting the 
late model brakes in the car turned it into a late model -- as far as 
braking was concerned.  The right rear would lock up waay too early 
under hard braking.  The '67 sedan that Brian O'Neill and I 
campaigned a decade earlier did the same thing on the track.

So, on wise advice I pitched the stock front wheel cylinders and 
installed a set 1/16" larger in diameter.  End of problem and the car 
remains perfectly streetable (if you don't mind what solid engine 
mounts and no interior do for you in street driving).
