EdenI run a twin master cylinder set up on my TR4 (a direct replica of the
type used in the works TR4 rally cars) - they are 0.7 inch bore, with a
mechanical balance bar at the pedal attachment. There are two suppliers here
in the UK who can help you, both of who are personal friends of mine and very
good to deal with. Email me of list if you want the details.If you want to go
it alone you could use 2 of the TR6 type clutch master cylinders mounting
brackets plus 2 of the same cylinders, again linked by a rose jointed balance
bar to the top of the pedal. You could run either the TR3 type steel canister
dual circuit system (used there for brakes and clutch) or a pair of 'pots'
such as the tilton plastic ones.I chose the ready made box and cylinders as
space is tight and it was a proven winner - the heath robinson approach was
tempting but on brakes I wasnt wildly keen.Hope this is of use to
you.RegardsTonyPS my front brakes are solid disc, Pagid RS15 pads, rear 9 inch
(Ted Schu's kevlar drums which are superb!) with finned alloy drums. Stops
better than most things.
