Glenn....I appreciate the offer on the magazine article, but not necessary, as you've already done enough to get my wheels turning.
It seems to me that a lot of folks considering upgrading to a DUAL M/C do not realize that when one circuit in a dual M/C becomes compromised, that the stroke of the internal pistons and springs WILL have to increase beyond normal stroke length to create pressure in the circuit that is not compromised. As such, folks MUST TEST their modified systems to assure that there is enough room available in their car to assure enough pedal stroke available IF either circuit becomes compromised. That is why I like to keep posting the drawing BELOW, as studying it shows clearly WHY the stroke must increase beyond normal to produce AVAILABLE stopping pressure.
I believe wholeheartedly that the virtues of this "stepped-bore" design needs to be passed-along to anyone contemplating a M/C change or upgrade. Thanks again!
Coop
