converted the single circuit master cylinder to a dual circuit

FWIW:
Why? Any LBC owner suffer catastrophic failure? Brake failure is
usually a matter of negligence in regards to maintenance.
The MGA manual recommends checking the brake fluid level every 1000
miles. That will tell you if you're loosing brake fluid. Fluid loss is
probably the major cause of why cars suffer from no brakes. Actually
fluid loss is an effect rather than a cause. The cause is really leaky
hoses or cylinder seals
If the brake system is completely bled every couple of years as should
be done, then a visual inspection of the lines will at the same time
will determine any brake hose deterioration or line chaffing.
NTSA required the dual system because too many owners weren't
maintaining their vehicles. How many people today inspect their cars or
check tire pressures, battery level, fluid levels, or even listen to the
noises. Most just pour in the gas and go.
