Thanks for all the suggestions. I would like to know where the twin master
cylinder units can be purchased and what bore did you use? Is there a nice
setup that has the balancer bar included, and compatible with the TR-6 mounts.
Thanks again. Happy Mardi-Gras from New Orleans!

Subject: Re: [Fot] TR6 Brake Master question
We
ran the TR-6 setup on a TR-4 for a while. I don't remember if we
had the
vacuum assist or not, I think we did. The problem we had was
that it was
hard to modulate the brakes. You could brake pretty hard
and do it well, but
when you get to the point of lockup it was too
easy to lock a wheel and too
hard to unlock the wheel. When we went
to dual master cylinders without the
power booster, I could brake
later, harder and not lock front wheels.
