The Ford Barn - View Single Post - '40 Disk/Drum brakes, no rear brake problem

Got a call from Dad last night. He has a brake pedal now. He will wait for me to fully bleed brakes but for what he was able to do he finally has some pressure on the pedal. From what I can understand he installed a larger mc with two equal sized cylinders and a residual valves to both front and rear brakes.
He tried a billet inside the prior mc , he was about to try a new brake pedal. I'm proud of my Dad for not giving up, doing it alone like most things he does. When the Govt. allows me to visit I will update you on more exact way of accomplishment. Thank you all for your ideas.
