Converting my 65 C body from Single to Dual Pot master cylinder

[Cianmini1]

Hi guys,
I have looked at previous threads but just want to clarify.
I’m looking to change from single to dual pot master on my 4 wheel drums, it’s for safety reasons but the car doesn’t do much driving to warrant discs or any expensive Upgrade
Exactly what do I need to change over my 65 newport from single to dual pot master cylinder.
I will get a new dual pot master cylinder for a 67+ c body,
Do I need to change my distribution block aswell for a 67+ c body?
Do I need to change my brake lines?
If so can I buy them pre done or am I best to cut and flare myself?
Also where do people suggest getting the parts or can I buy a kit as I’m
Based in Dublin ireland

Thanks
Kind regards
Cian

Easy, to do yourself, with just a new master cylinder and some brake line. On your stock distribution block remove the rear brake line and plug that with a flare plug fitting. On your new master cylinder take the line that would feed the rear brake and either use a union or make a new line to connect to your rear brake line. I used a 67 Newport master cylinder if I remember right. I just flared my old brake line and with a fitting and union to connect to the new rear brake line from the master cylinder. This is on my 64 880. Has been on my 64 for 10+ years with no problems.
