I put a dual system in my '56 bug/'64 chassis and it bolted up to the chassis no problem. I think it was a '67 master cylinder. I also ran all new metal/rubber brake lines at the same time. It's not hard to do if you're mechanically inclined. 8)

Dear Group: My original single-system brake main cylinder on my '59 has failed in the past, causing all four brakes to fail simultaneously. I was wondering if a later-style dual-system brake main cylinder that separates the brakes into separate front and rear brake systems, along with separate reservoirs, could be simply bolted into my '59 (and my '63) without any significant changes (i.e., welding, changing mounting hole/nut pattern, etc). I like the idea of only one of the brake systems failing, as opposed to all brakes.
