N8dc  Thanks for the reply....Not in a big hurry , just have to keep the ball rollin'...Line routing side is variable at this point..It's a drum/drum setup  and we need the dual type for safety..part of our problem is the short pushrod travel (pedal setup is already installed and would require a "back -to -square one" rework to get more pushrod travel ).....BTW , I had also  heard somewhere else that a disc/drum cyl was too sensitive ...
             Thanx to all replies    Stan

Here's what we got:
'32 Ford hiboy roadster
'40 Ford drum brakes (Frt. & Rear)-new "stepped " w/cyls,shoes,springs,etc
'32 type frame
Aftermarket frame mounted pedal assembly- 5:1 ratio,pushrod travel approx 2 1/4(+/-)

What we need to know is:
What dual reservoir type ,manual M/cyl. do we need ? Bore size?
Stroke? ( obviously in the 2"range)
What original OEM application are we looking for? (Yr. & Make)
Any info appreciated Thanks Stan

Anyone ever build an electronic t/signal system? One that uses a variable timer maybe, instead of a regular flasher .... Speedway Motors sells( $100) solid state type module , but I figure somebody knows how to use readily available components (timers,relays,momentary switches,etc)...I'm sure some electronic "geek" could go to RadioShack or so ,and gather up all thats needed... I can't use a regular column mounted type switch in my TrackT , so I'm looking for ideas...Any plans ,schematics, material lists appreciated.... Thanks ,  Stan


BTW: I did a search for "electronic turn signals"& WZ Junk posted a pic of just the right system back in Dec 04 , but no specifics and I've PM'd him for details

Can't find anything like it.... anybody have any idea what it is?

Don't know about the car ,but the driver is definitely a Double-Breasted Mattress Thrasher!!!

Anybody ever have to bend a steering box arm ? I'm using a Vega steering box on my Track-T and I need to heat & bend the steering box arm out about an inch or so  to get my steering linkage parallel. The stock Vega arm has about 2" offset (6" ctr. to ctr.)and I need about 3"offset..It's a stock forged Vega arm and I have an extra to practice on ...I  I know this can be dangerous and is ill-advised to do so , but I've tried all my sources to find the correct offset without any results.. any thoughts , SWAG's , past experiences , etc

Anybody have any experience (good or bad ) with a Dyna-Batt  dry cell battery . I'm considering using one in my 26T Lakes Modified roadster , as it's small and lightweight (13#)  I looked at the Optima batteries and they are large and heavy. I do not need much ,as I will only be running the ignition & lighting system ,and no accessories.  They cost around $140.00 online , but I don't want to spend that if they don't do the job and are not worth it.  Feedback from anyone who has used or bought one appreciated.
