    I have had a few of them fail on street cars. One locked out on me and the other blew a seal and I lost brakes. Just food for thought and if its an old one be careful. They are just like nitrous and fuel solenoids, when old they like to leak and stick.

    Its been a while where is all the progress???? LOL

    Sprayed99 has a very good point. That antique piece would probably be best be left on the shelf, or in your collection of "remember when..." pieces. Losing front brakes due to a piece that serves no good purpose for your day to day operation would not be good.... Pure fun, but maybe not worth the risk. I defer to the safer approach
