I have two A's that were converted to hydraulic brakes over 20 years ago and I'm starting to feel cheated as they are still stopping on a dime with a nickle change. I switched to hydraulics after sailing through a red light due to the fact that the mechanical brakes failed after repeated use in urban traffic. And yes, I know how to adjust mechanical brakes. Mechanical brakes are fine if you're going to putt around on country roads. I'm with Jim that hydraulic are better than mechanical brakes, especially if you are try to keep up with modern traffic.


To the OP, cheap conversions are no longer available with the demise of wrecking yards. Check out the Speedway Motors catalog for prices on new components. As a side note, all of the Wagner wheel cylinders from NAPA are made in Mexico, not China.
