Excellent advice. In addition to the Granada conversion, there are now
companies that sell adapter brackets that utilize the original drum spindles
and adapt later model Cadillac caliper and discs for cheap. Excellent mod.
Larger rear drums can be easily adapted from late model Crown Vics to upgrade
the rear to match the upgraded fronts.

In addition to the dual master cylinder, power assist can now be added to the
dual conversion.

Make sure that every inch of brake line is replaced, or at least carefully
checked.
