Hi Mike,
What I'm going to tell you will probably get the other Spridge folks upset
because it flies in the fact of common knowledge. I can only tell you what
happened when we finished a disc brake swap on a friend's bugeye that had
already been started. Initially, we purchased a new TRW 3'4" bore MC. The
car had standard rear drum brakes. Try as we might, we couldn't get a hard
pedal, even after installing stainless lines all around. We screwed around
with pushrod adjustment, still no dice. What we finally ended up doing was
purchasing one of these 7/8" inch MCs with an increased reservoir:

ced5d1:g:fdsAAOxy02dRf~cB
I'm not sure whether we trimmed the pushrods down a bit as well as it was
one of the many things we tried. Might be worth a shot if you get
desperate. My motto, "If it doesn't;t work, keep throwing new parts at it
until it does."
Happy Healeying,
Rick Neville
