The dual master setup of which you speak is somewhat common, for spare parts 
try Pegasus racers supply. 

I have  60 sprite myself, I use the dual circuit single cylinder master from a 
later midget/front disc/and later rear drum setup. of course there is various 
conversions for power brakes/and mgb/triumph front discs with a custom hub. but 
I have never had a fade problem, and I too am trying to learn to use the brakes 
less. I have a summit racing proportioning valve (which is usually set at full 
rear pressure anyway)
and carbon kevlars all around, don't forget the stainless braided flex lines as 
they do help and contribute to longevity. stainless front (hockey puck)pistons 
help. I only use dot 4 or better fluid and bleed them before every event. I use 
new rear cylinders as they are not all that expensive, also if you use a midget 
master, remember to wrap the top reservoir with a cloth, for whatever reason, 
the reservoir will inevitably leak and ruin your paintwork.
