If you use 2 single circuit master cylinders with a Tilton Balance bar
(one for the front and one for the rear), you can get by with using the
MC (clutch or brake) from a Mk1 Spit and just adjust the bar for the
desired action.

There is no need to touch the rear brakes, however the GT6 calipers
require
a bigger bore master cylinder. A single line set up is easy, you go from
the
5/8" to a .7". Tandem set ups are more of a problem as strictly speaking
you
need a GT6 tandem master (68-72) but I have been told that a Spitfire
tandem
master is acceptable and the pedal doesn't have too much travel.

> Folks: If I swap the spitfire front brakes for GT6 front brakes (and
upright and spindles), do I need to changed the valving in the front
master
cylinders? Do I also need to change the rear drums or can I stay with
the
spitfire drums? Has anyone else done this? If so, any tricks? Dale
