[FC] FC brakes

[David C. Herrin III]

Convert to Dual MC, replace "rubber" hoses with DOT braided stainless, 
all new USA Wheel Cylinder - compatible with DOT 5 Silicone, special 
care when choosing friction material material = US "Street Kevlar (not 
"kevlar"), all new hardware, follow proper SAE procedures for Flush, and 
Drum Preparation and Bedding Friction Material.
The FCs all shares design and therefore capacities
with GM Vans & Trucks
- use  cheap or misrepresented products
or fail to follow proper procedure will yield problems.
