Convert C1 Brakes to Self Adjusting Type

[Christopher R.]

I'm considering converting my '62 brakes to self adjusting by adding '63-'65 self adjusting kits. Any reason I would not want to do this?

Only if you put many thousands of miles per year on it in my opinion. It's pretty easy to use a adjuster tool to add a few clicks every so often when you feel the pedal getting a bit lower due to lining wear.

In the 35+ years and 35k+ miles I put on my '59, I adjusted them maybe once or twice. And that was likely after a couple of master cylinder rebuilds as I recall.

Alot of work for very little gain. But that's just my old two cents
