Title: ass-backwards bus master
Post by: steveo_32 on August 30, 2010, 01:54:43 PM: So what do the guru's recommend for a 1960 splitty with a dropped bay beam with disc brakes

The little csp 170 buck bay conversion? for a plastic top and small billet adapter for later or just run a splitty master?

A 67 bus master is dual circut but rare and $$$ Best bet use the late bus master with spacer from cip/ wolfgang int. Or if you need more stoping power a 944 master but then you need to "t" in a brake light switch.

I'm running the late bus master with spacer clean simple and cheap... (after you pay the $170 lol).
