That looks like a good setup. I should have said I've been modifying the HYDRAULICS as opposed to "at the wheels". I'm running a 1980 RX-7 master cylinder, and manual proportioning valve to adjust the rear brakes bias. In front I've converted to a late '90s Mustang caliper and rotor; in back I'm using a Ford 7.5" rear axle with 9" Ranger drum brakes. I've got a similar brake switch to Ron's mounted on a bracket in front of the pedal; it has open and closed circuits so I can use it both for brake lights and to shut off the cruise control.

Ron's idea of greasing the pivot is a good one. If I have problems with the hole getting wallowed out then I'll sleeve it, make a pin from high-carbon steel and drill it out for a grease nipple.
