    Hi, when I go to do the Granda disc brake swap on my 70' maverick which has clutch pedals and drums on it at the moment, do I need to get a different master cylinder or get another stock one? Also, I will be putting pedals from a 73' maverick automatic which has drums and using the proportion valve from the granda. Thanks Robert

    I think you want the master cylinder for a disc+drum Maverick. Granada one may be the same, not sure, but I do know the drum+drum master cylinder is different.

    I used a manual disc/drum master cylinder from a 74-77 Maverick. You will probably need to shorten the pushrod for the correct pedal height.

    I just did a swap last week. I have a 70 which had manual drum/drum and now has disc/drum. I didn't touch the proportioning valve or m/c. just to see if it worked and so far so good with stopping.:dance::drive:
