I agree with ford38v8. It's sort of like "you can't have your cake and eat it too". Once you install hydraulics you have MODIFIED your car and major points will be deducted. You will also be up against some unsympathetic judges that once they see your modification will tend to deduct points more vigorously on other parts of your car. You have to understand that if your car beats out another car for an award and they have 100% stock equipment there could be an uproar. I have an acquaintance that had a beautiful '36 roadster that had hydros installed and every show he went to he was basically blackballed, in fact when he pulled into some shows he could see the judges getting together and pointing at his car. At one show a judge said to him"so,this is the hydraulic brake car". You can make your mechanical brakes work just fine.
