who's running manual brake master? My rear seal is leaking brake fluid and thinking of going manual to clean up the bay.
What's your experience? Any regrets of going manual?

We have the Burkhart ones in stock.
One thing you have to watch on some of the kits out there is that they are selling a cheap master cylinder with the wrong bore size. If you get the wrong bore size the brakes will be firm but wont stop the car. Burkharts kits are the correct setup and we install them on all our cars.

i have one on mine. I usually forget to push the pedal harder on the first stop sign by my house. But after that im good to go lol. It is not that bad at all. Just redrill the pedal for more leverage and you are set. I do get on the brake with 2 feet at the end of the track though.

I have one in my car, with the hole on teh pedal brought up about an inch it stops the car frim 142 down no problem, and I"m still 3350 lbs, with drag brakes.
I did put the additional brace on with the master, just because when we were bleeding the brakes, I noticed the master cyl moving ever so little when we pushed on the pedal hard to try to get all the air out (which I still think there might be a little somewhere, need to rebleed them one of these days). Adding Burkhart's brake got rid of that completely.

im redy to convert more for clearing up room than weight, but i dont want a hard pedal.
ive driven with a bad booster before and the car didnt want to stop without jamming two feet like mentioned above.
how would you rate manual brakes vs a power system without vacuum?
so many threads about this, but none that are accurate to how my brain thinks. ahha.

stopping with 2 feet doesnt sound like something i want to do.

it is not as bad as a power brakes with no vacuum, not anywhere near that bad.
