Anybody have first hand experience with this happening, whenever I've bled
the brake's (effectivly creating a  leak in one system) the pedal will fall
to the floor.  Unless this dual action only happens when you panic and mash
the pedal, I can't see that it works.  I can understand how it's supposed to
work but in every car I've bled ( and it's been quite a few ) I never feel
half a pedal.  The one failure I did have, (thankfully right in the
driveway) was catastrophic, pedal to the floor, NO brakes.  That turned out
to be the master cylinder.  So I've yet to be proven that any dual system
works as stated - I'm sure it must but I just haven't seen it happen?  Any
other thoughts on what I'm missing? - just thought I'd through that out -
