My 1966 Seriia88 has been in storage for a few years and the seals on the original drum brake system are gone. I'm considering options.
The first is to replace the seals and/or cylinders (along with the master cylinder) to the original specification: Tiny drums, and single circuit. I did this once a long time ago, and even at their best, the original small drum brakes are marginal. Also, the single circuit hydraulic system is flat-out dangerous.
The next thought is to replace the single circuit hydraulics with a SerIII dual circuit system, maybe with a boosted master cylinder.
The third and most desirable option would be a dual circuit system with a front disk brake conversion - real brakes! Does anyone know off a conversion kit that's still in production? There were a few some time ago, but I haven't seen any as of late.
Thanks,
Mark
