STOP! Well, I wish Joe had been able to when he ran into that tree with our Patrol...
Our plan for updating the brakes on Aerogirl is moving along... well, I'm thinking about it lots! There is no question that we'll be switching to a dual master cylinder. We may... or may not... use a vacuum booster as I'm also likely to switch to front disks. Aesthetically, the booster cantilevered way out isn't ideal... but it does look much better than the crashed front end! The rears will probably remain drums.
Now, the big question... while doing the hydraulic shuffle, I'm thinking of switching to the later hydraulic clutch system -- I know Rob prefers mechanical... less to leak! But, I love the absolute simplicity of the hydraulic system! Plus, my mechanical linkage is nothing short of lumpy. It has never had a good feel.
Can someone share some close up pics of the hydraulic clutch system for me? Specifically how the slave mounts to the bell housing and where the hose mounting tab is located (where the steel pipe ends and the rubber flex-hose starts) -- the pics in the manual aren't so clear. Also, if someone has a firewall with both master cylinders removed, a head-on shot of the mounting points would be awesome too so I can create a drill-template.

Lastly, does anyone have a spare clutch slave cylinder bracket? Or, can someone loan me theirs so I can duplicate it?
