wilwood also has dual m/c. I bet they're patterned after girlings just like
the singles are.

So, does anyone have a good used master cylinder for Spitfire or GT6

like to part with (Spit Mk 3 through early 1500, 1967-75) (all GT6
years) ?
Last spring, in a fit of desperation to get the Spitfire to the race
track,
I stole the brake master cylinder off of my daily driver/autox GT6. I
was
thinking, of course, that I'd rebuild the Spitfire's MC and install it
on the
GT6, as it's the same part.

Actually, as I recall, it's NOT the same. If memory serves, the GT6 dual
master is more like a 70/30, while the Spitfire's is 50/50. Makes sense
when you
consider the heavier nose of a GT6. I've also heard of spotty
availability of
rebuild kits for the GT6 cylinder.
Good luck!
