I have been running brake line for my 72 Spitfire race car and I need to 
ask the group a couple of questions.
Oh by the way I am making both inverted and iso flares for the project.

I bought this car as a basket case from the previous owner, who had 
raced it in the late 70's and he had some nice work done on the rollbar 
and tub. He has fabricate a dual brake master cylinder setup from two 
5/8" clutch master's with a threaded rod in between the pushrods as a 
makeshift balance bar.

My question is has  anyone ever ran a setup like this before?
If so was there any issue with fluid capacity  for the primary circuit 
with front disc brakes using the clutch master?
How well does the balance bar work over an adjustable proportioning valve?

I had plans to use the production master with a wildwood proportioning 
valve, but I have clearance issues with the plenum. The plenum has been 
replaced with a nicely done flat piece of aluminum.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
