hi all,

I'm thinking of replacing the entire braking system on the herald, after all
some of these parts are 40 years old.
it occurred to me that with a modified bracket on the firewall i could fit
two separate master cylinders, one feeding the front brakes, one feeding the
rear.  i would feel a lot safer with some redundancy in the system.
has anyone tried anything like this on any of the triumphs (or anything for
that matter)? can anyone see why (apart from originality, too far gone for
that) this would be a bad idea?

thanks

derek
1960 herald (happy 40th) (brakes optional extra)
1965 vitesse (brakes in color coded crates, red for port, green for starb'd)
1975 series III landrover (enormous power boosted drum brakes, hand brake is
a fifth drum)
