Hi Othopetra,
Although not really connected to the original post I do not entierly agree with your statement: 'It should be remembered that the brakes on both A7's and E93A's were considered fairly useless even back in the day and just converting to hydraulic will not radically improve them'.
Its all about the engineering. If all aspects of the conversion are properly considered a hydraulic conversion on a 7 should give excellent results.
Way better than the standard rod/cable system.
I fear many conversions done over the years have not been well considerd and it is therefore no surprise that a myth has grown that its a waste of time.
Of course it all depends on what you want to get out of it, what you use the car for etc, and therefore whether its worth doing.
