Question 1961 Tbird Disc Brake Conversion

Hello All!

This is my first post on this forum and I'm sure this question has been asked and answered several times but I will ask it again and I hope no one is offend because of this. I am looking to do a front disc brake conversion and the cheapest one I found is someone that is selling them on e-bay. Here is the link:

This kit says you need to replace your old master cylinder with a dual one and a proportioning valve. Has anyone done this conversion and what kind of dual master cylinder and proportioning valve did they use?

This site is also selling conversion kits but at almost 3 times the price:

http://www.autokrafters.com/tpls/searchresults.tpl

I guess my question is if anyone has done this conversion and was it worth it or was it a complete hassle and not worth the work versus the added braking power.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John
