Wait a minute, are you saying that the pressure from one primary circuit
is coupled to pressurized the secondary brake circuit? They are still
not separate of each other, so if the primary fails the secondary will
too? Maybe when that happens, there is a mechanical coupling that
happens to connect the two pistons to restore pressure in the secondary?
I haven't had the chance to rebuild a newer master to explore the
workings of one. I usually just buy a new one instead of rebuilding.
