Scarebird front disc conversion
Hi Folks and greetings from Bonny Scotland,
ive recently bought a Scarebird conversion for my 72 and I was hoping some of you guys that have done it could provide me with some info?
can I use my standard power brake master cylinder or do I need to change it to a later one and if I do which master cylinder do I need?
i know I need a proportional valve, can you recommend one?
Did you just join your original brake lines down at the original differential valve with a T piece and female x female Union?
Thanks in advance, Davie.

Master cylinder... you'll need to swap from a drum/drum MC to a disc/drum MC. Disc brake calipers require more fluid volume to operate properly. Therefore the MC you get will have a large reservoir for the front and comparably smaller reservoir for the rear.
Proportioning valve...i prefer the Wilwood adjustable PN 260-11179
I deleted the distribution valve cuz it is unnecessary when using a proportioning valve.. the prop valve's output is two ports for the front and one port for the rear.

Yes, you can use a later model Disc/Drum M/C. And your existing brake "booster".
