Terry,
Later,dual brake cars,have a dent in the bulkhead to make room for the
larger master cylinder.The most common way to fit dual brakes to an
early race car is to mount two single cylinders.These can be conected by
a threaded bar,and brake bias can be adjusted by moving the pivot off
center towards one side or the other. Or you gotta put a dent in the
bulkhead and use your later set up!
Good luck,
Rick Hand
