the 1/4 groove was cut between the front and back divider, the reason I cut it 
1/4" was because that was easy with a die grinder and I wanted to be assure 
fluid was getting to the lower half, when fluid is added to the remote 
resevoir, it flows,thru the hose, to the master cylinders highest point (where 
I screwed in the fitting), over fills the chamber then flows in to the lowest 
chamber though the groove,, you still retain fluid below the groove,, in effect 
you actually improve the system by having a larger capacity for brake fluid in 
the event of a leak in the front or the rear system,

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of having a "dual" master cylinder?  A leak 
anywhere (front or rear) will result in NO brakes.......
