    What are the recommened master clyinder and porportioning valve to go with this non-power setup ? I have a new Granada disc MC with the stuff I bought so Can I asume it will be ok?
    Thanks!

    Use the Granada proportioning valve, if you got it from a junkyard see if it still on the car. Then you can just get a master cylinder for a disk brake maverick.

    If going from manual drums to manual discs, you might want to shorten the rod that goes from the pedal to MC. My brake pedal sat high after the swap.

    I got a later Maverick manual disc MC over the counter at a parts store (cheap, too). But I am using the stock drums out back.
