My 65 FB has factory disc's. Here are my 2 plans for brakes.
1. Upgrade the master cylinder to a dual bowl and run SS lines front and back.
or
2. Get a Baer front disc set up.
In both cases I'm keeping rear drums.
The question? Are the stock discs terribly inferrior to the Baer setups?
I'm thinking for the difference in parts price, and since I already have disc's, that plan 1 is the way to go, but if the Baer's are going to blow the stock breaks away performance wise, then I'd prefer the Baer's. Since modding the engine, I want to make sure I have the stopping power. The Fruit Jar isn't the most trustworthy designed master cylinder, and I don't want to be a victim of it!
