[Healeys] Front disc conversion - followup thoughts

["Steve B. Gerow" <steveg@abrazosdata.com>]

My car had a .75" master cylinder which I'm using.

I bought one of the Lockheed boosters but have not installed it. With the 
ceramic pads it is not necessary - the pedal effort is no greater than the 
drums were. Pedal is rock-hard and very direct. The stainless hoses seem to 
make a slight improvement as my rubber hoses were new.

I was inspired by the Triumph article and the ease-of-sourcing on the internet.

HealeyRick on this list has informed me that Welch is making a 3.5" adapter 
plate for older cars. This would cut the cost by quite a bit as well as 
increasing availability over the unobtainium BJ8 swivel axles.
