Good morng, folks. Swapping drums to discs using Mustang Steve brackets for 2010 GT calipers and rotors. Staying with manual brakes vs power. Can I run the Raybestos 36440 master cylinder (74 maverick disc, drum) by removing rear residual valve or will the size of reservoir be to small for rear discs? I see folks do this but want a few more opinions. Casual cruiser car.

Thanks and merry Christmas!

personal opinion, rear disc is a waste of time. Rear brakes don't do much to stop the car. Are you building a race car or a daily driver? Front disc is a big improvement and so is a booster , but rears don't help much.
