The set up you have should be Ok for vintage. Most of the really well
prepped gt6's have the dual master set up with original triumph equipment.
I feel the only candidate for the tilton pedals would be like tube frame
scca car or something. That's kind of a major modernization and is not in
line with what the plenty fast guys like group 44 and mr. kastner did back
in the day. Plus with the good racing break pads they make nowdays even a
stock set up with a single master should be ok. My car has only one master
and has raced on scca national level since newly built in 1970, over 100
races on the log books. Who needs brakes anyway?
