I'm actually pretty darn happy with my finely tuned and maintained mechanicals on my stock/original '35 fordor. Now, if I really wanted an improved hydraulic braking system I would leap frog the '39 to '48 Ford system and go directly for the repro Lincoln system combined with Richard Lacy's kit that uses the stock '35 brake pedals. His system eliminates the need to convert to a '39 clutch/brake pedal assembly that would also require a hole to be cut in the floor pan to fill/refill the MC. JMHO
