With the dual master cylinder set up - how are most people running the brake
lines?
When you run separate lines for front and back brakes -It seems you can't use
the stock set up with the lines going to the splitter valve.
The next question - if you are not using the splitter valve - what are you
doing in place of the pressure activated brake light switch connected to the
splitter?
I am running the stock set up now but thinking of running the dual master
cylinder for a little redundancy in the braking system should a front or rear
line go bad.
Thanks.
