snowcone (5/29/2013) Warren, I'm just using the drum brakes with new hoses, new linings and wheel cylinders as well as Daves dual mastercylinder and booster. I figured they used to stop OK 50 years ago with a single line and no booster so they have to be better already apart from brake fade, but even that should be better with todays linings.Gary, i,m assuming the m/cyl is for drum/drum application not disc /drum.  Yes Bill, Dave was aware that I was still using drums went he sent it. Probably why both reservoirs are the same size as I expect the disc brake set up would have had a bigger reservoir on that side

Gary & Talkwrench, You have it right!! The front does the front as if you use a disk brake front you need the larger resivour. I read also that corvette style master can pull air past the slave on drums. I have installed a residual valve which also gives a firmer pedal. This is a win win, better pedal, no air. Gary, if you are considering disk brakes Hoppers Stoppers has a disk brake conversion for cusso's. I have done this conversion, my oldest vehicle has the best brakes  cheers Warren

Can anyone confirm the correct plumbing for Old Irish Daves dual mastercylinder? Already in this topic it was said that the front chamber is the rear brakes and then later that the front chamber is the front brakes. I will be piping mine up shortly and want to get it right first go. Both chambers are the same size so that doesn't give any indication which is which.

Talkwrench, I'm guessing that the two sources of blackish fluid would be rotting rubber brake components or heat. Check you adjustment of the drums. have you got hard line near the exhaust? I love those one person brake bleeders. bleed the system and monitor it  cheers Warren
