OK! So I got a question about the above issues...
These dual reservoir MC usually serve two different type systems... 
Usually disc in front and drum in rear...Don't they each require a 
different volume of fluid to operate and isn't the MC Plungers sized 
to the system served? Do these systems when adapted to a single type 
system (Drums all around)  function properly? It appears that the 
fluid lines are also different sizes... Just wondering!
