I have Turner discs on the front of my '65 Cruiser. I first was using MOPAR cop car wheels, but they were too wide. I am now using Chevy rally wheels that I got from Speedway. As far as these wheels and the Turner brakes both worked just fine. I would follow Jeff's suggestion that you call Jim Turner and speak with him about your concerns.Joe Roberts

I use Ford Ranger Truck wheels. Just use the Ford lug nuts also due to a larger taper on the wheels. The Ford lug nuts are good to use on stock wheels also that may have a lot of wear from years of use/misuse.sigpic1966 Daytona (The First One)

I installed Chrysler rims on my 1963 Avanti with Turner brakes, (I forget the width) and have had no problems except for walking wheel disks. (I even welded nubs near the valve stem as the Avanti rims have..) I ended up using Marine Goop in a few spots when re-installing the rims. No more walking disks.

Sorry for the late reply Richard. The dual master cylinder are just a cheap insurance policy for braking . The single master cylinder applies pressure to all 4 wheels where as the dual cylinder breaks it to two systems where the front and rear brakes are more or less independent. If the single cylinder fails you lose all braking on a dual you at least have some braking.
Maybe someone else can give a more techical explanation but there is a reason no newer cars have a single master cylinder.
