<VV> dual M/C

[tkalp at cox.net]

Lon,

That is a good point, but in the past several people that converted their Corvair to a dual master cylinder had complaints about the brakes getting harder and harder . . . the problem was solved by shortening the rod.

We do know that the pedal assemblies on '67 and later (dual master cylinder) Corvairs were different.  The common reason stated was to clear the larger mast on the collapsing steering column . . . maybe there were differences in travel also.  Have a '68 parts car will check the pedal travel on it compaired to '66 and earlier.  Will report back.
