hay there people i need to pick ur brains on some thing,

i have a datsun ute 1972
it has a tiny master cylinder,single tank and single line leaving the cylinder,

now does any one know how to fit a dual tank master cylinder that has 2 lines coming out of it?????????

my ute has had disk brakes put on it,
but im not sure how to set up the dual line master cylinder,can any one help on this one ,possibly do a scketch of how the brake lines are supose to go or even send a few pics of there master cylinder and where the 2 brake lines go leaving it ,im guessing one has to go to the rear brakes and the other has to go to the front,
but im just not sure how to fit them or how to split the lines
cheers in advance to any help!!!

It's not real hard.

The single outlet master cylinder is split 3 ways, 2 for the front and one for the rear. It's a 'single circuit system', which is not safe, bacause if you hit a piece of wood on the road, and one of the brake lines is cut, you lose all of your brakes.

With a dual circuit, the front system and the back system are on different circuits. Even though some brake systems 'bias the front and rear' using a cast iron block the size of your hand, where the front and rear lines both go into, and they are clearly labelled as to which ports go to which line.

With dual circuit (tandem) master cylinders, The front cylinder is normally for the back, and the back cylinder is for the front brakes.

Drawing pictures will take forever, when you could learn so much more at a good wrecking yard.

Hope this helps.
