Doug,

I'm converting 65 GTO to dual master cylinder also, but solely for safety sake as I will continue driving this car quite a bit. Single chamber masters result in all brakes failing when one line/wheel cylinder fails, where dual chamber systems retains either front or rear brakes in that situation, enough to likely get you home or at least to the side of the road. What are your thoughts on that?

I just ordered the dual master cylinder conversion kit from Ames (R129TX) along with the conversion lines kit (R180GU), it has all the parts for either 4-wheel drum or 4-wheel disk setups, and you just toss/resell the proportioning block/lines/etc. if you have stock 4-wheel drums since you don't need those parts.

I'm working on my installation now.
