The rod has a swivel (Heim) joint on the end that attaches to the brake pedal. The new push rod is installed lower on the brake pedal so it will increase the master cylinder piston travel. The original push rod should be replaced with an adjustable push rod which can be adjusted to take up slack between the push rod end and the master cylinder piston. All conversions have included switching to DOT5 silicone brake fluid.Ī dual master cylinder is installed to separate the front brakes from the rear. On the conversion shown here, the brass block for the brake light switch has been completely removed to clean up the installation, and reduce the number of joints. On all of the installations I have performed, I have removed the hydraulic brake light switch and installed a mechanical switch from CASCO. The photos included, and description provided, are related to the disc conversion kit available from Thunderbirds One in Gastonia, NC. Converting to disc brakes on your Thunderbird will provide you with significantly improved braking, and is not a hard conversion to make.
