The two brake master cylinders should be operating separate brake circuits (front and rear). The rear cylinder should be plumbed to the rear brake bias control. You should rebuild or replace both cylinders. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 3:21 PM, Brad Eells via Fot <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" target="_blank">fot@autox.team.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Gang,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to understand what may have happened with the duel master set up and it's plumbing. </div><div><br></div><div>The front and rear circuits are both coming out of the right hand cylinder while the left hand cylinder is returning to itself.
