I am not certain about the SV MC, but the early ones have
the reservoir input on the end, so it iwas not under pressure.
I had no problems shaving off the material knowing that the modified
area was under no stress.
You may check how the later ones are setup.

I dont think that Steves car is setup that way.
He has dual masters, bith adjustable pivot, but it mounts in the
usual fashion.
Dan Walters and others have been fooling around with that Idea
"inside masters" for some time, but Ive yet to see it done.
As far as racing is concerned, there appears to be no pending
regulation to prohibit single circuit brakes an any vintage race
org "SCCA too".
It seems that the e-brake serves as the other circuit.
