I have a 75 with front drums. I want to upgrade to newer style discs. Do I have to change the master and booster? can I just add a residual pressure valve?

OK so ive been studying and the article above says to go to a brake shop to get the hoses made.... the geniuses in my area dont do that. Since I am in Hawaii I cant just drive to the next county/state... any other solutions?

IIRC can't the old lines from the disc brake donor be used here?

Also, I checked www.rockauto.com and the pictures they show sure seem to look right to me, nothing like the pic of the wrong part in that how-to article. I think the writer may just have had bad luck with the local Napa.
