I don't think you can use the master cylinder from a front disc rear
drum brake system on a 4 wheel brake system due to the different line
sizes being that they use small lines for the front and large for the
rear... The system was designed for use with disc on front and the
fluid needed to push the calipers closed is much less than the amount
needed for the rear drums.. You need a master cylinder for a drum
front drum rear.
