Re: Juice brakes
I probably would have gone that way, but when I saw all the cutting and grinding required, I opted to go the Randy Gross route with "stock" cast drums. So far I haven't been sorry for that decision, plus it was about half the cost of the MT conversion.

Have you figured out how you're going to actuate the master? Stock Model A pedal is set up to pull as opposed to push, which can make things interesting. Good luck and enjoy your A! |

Re: Juice brakes
My '40 master cylinder is on the passenger side of the car. Bolted on the front of the cross member and actuated by the mechanical brake crossover shaft.

I have my master mounted on the crossmember and fabricated the linkage to pull on the master cylinder. This design allowed me to control the amount the pedal traveled vs. bore stroke in the master by adjusting the pivot points and thereby changing the pedal ratio similar to a hanging pedal setup.
