The Master I have been using and the one that I swapped over to on my Dads Avanti is the Dodge dual master.

I have to agree on the drum brake experience that JoeHall speaks of. I had 4 wheel drums on my Hawk and it wasn't safe to drive. I recall driving down a long hill in traffic and when I reached the bottom standing on the pedal as hard as I could and STILL running a stop sign. I had forgot about the pulling side to side! You never knew which way it would go, but it sure did, sometimes with serious force! With the majority of modern cars stopping in less than 130 feet from 60 mph, and your 4 wheel drum Studebaker stopping in 150 to 200 or more .. better stock up on front sheetmetal and insurance.
As for an update .. I am currently shipping out a couple sets for feedback, one gentleman has been SUPER patient and pivotal in keeping me motivated.
My Dad had loved the Cobra wheels that I bought some years ago for my Avanti, I even went through the steps to get a quote on shipping them to Michigan for him :

That wasnt meant to be when he took ill and started the dark road into Alzheimer. So when I received his Avanti I got in touch with the company AFS wheels and bought 4 of the last 6 wheels they had. I wanted chrome, but beggars cant be choosers and I ended up with black painted.



This will do for now, it actually is starting to grow on me. The bumpers need chrome, so I might get a quote for gloss vinyl wrap.... carbon fiber? Hmm.
