dual MC in a 36

[mrtexas]

I used a 39 pedal set with a thick 3 to 2 screw adaptor to mount the dual MC. I'll buy one of the narrow 12v batteries that is only 5 inches wide, a group 51. I still have to cut out a MC access hole to add fluid. I had to modify the front bracket. I re-mounted the stop light switch/adjustment valve to the left frame: http://www.classicperform.com/Store/1947_59_Trucks/MCAPV-DB.htm

I saw in your Mitchell OD post that you used MT bendix brakes on the rear. What brakes on front? Do you really need the adjustable proportioning valve? Or was that a "just in case" deal? Not being critical... thinking about a dual mc for mine, not sure what to use. Thanks!

I put squareback spindles and discs on the front, bracket from ECI. I'll be running 40 wheels. 600R16 on the front and 650R16 on the rear. I had planned on 600R16 all the way around but a forum member made me a deal I couldn't refuse on the 650R16s. 67 Corvette or 68 mustang are cheap dual MCs, around $50. I'm also using a delay block on the front brakes so the rears come on first as recommended by ECI.

OK, that all makes sense, thanks!
