[Fot] dual circuit brakes on a tr4

[Kramer, Robert]

I have one of the UK versions with a balance bar, I think it came from
Racetorations, maybe TR  Enterprises. It came with a remote resorvoir
for the brakes like a TR3 so I switched out the M/C's for 3/4" Wildwood
with the intregal caps like the CMC. Those cylinders are available for
about $50 each from places like Speedway Motors. I don't know why this
is true, but my virtually identical Girling CMC clouds up the fluid
relatively quickly, but the Wildwoods stay crystal clear.

I had the TR6 set-up on my old car and it worked fine. I think the TR4
bulkhead area where the booster mounts was re-inforced when they went to
the TR25/TR6. I remember some extra flexing I worried about metal
fatigue but never did anything about it.

Do I use the same bore cylinders? Meaning to I just use two stock tr4
brake master cylinders?
