[Fot] Brake/clutch fluid res.

[Bill Babcock]

If you are a good fabricator it's a relatively easy thing to build.  
You can get an adjustable bias pivot from Tilton and do a nice job.  
Tilton also has nice girling-pattern master cylinders with remote or  
integrated reservoirs. If you build a bias-adjustable system I suggest  
you make both cylinders the same size so you can share a spare rebuild  
kit between them. Some master cylinders have residual pressure valves  
already installed. Make sure you take that out for the clutch or  
you'll toast your thrust bearings. Don't ask how I know that.

Peyote's box is home-made and has worked well for eons. You can also  
build one without the adjustable pivot and just make up a selection of  
bars with varied ratios for front to rear bias.
