I assume that he is talking about cutting a groove in the top of the
divider between the two haves of the master cylinder reservoir to allow the
fluid from the new remote reservoir to replenish both systems.  Therefore
if you lose a system you would lose the fluid in the remote reservoir but
would still retain the fluid in the other have of the master cylinder
reservoir (at least below the bottom of the groove in the divider).

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of having a "dual" master cylinder?  A leak

anywhere (front or rear) will result in NO brakes.......
