Exclamation Disc brake conversion kits again

... ... umm ...

I have noticed something about this kit - https://www.wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds965.pdf -

...that has shocked the heck out of me ...

The INSTRUCTION SHEET reads can be used with original single reservoir MC.

The RPV located within the MC has to be removed (I can understand that).

I DON'T THINK SO!

The MC will not have enough fluid volume to properly operate the front disc and rear shoes. There will be no RESIDUAL PRESSURE VALVE for the rear shoes. I don't see anything about a PROPORTIONING VALVE in the sheet.

One poster even said to leave the rear shoes adjusted not so tightly as to allow the extra fluid volume in the calipers to return to the MC more easily ...

And this from WILWOOD, the most trusted name in braking conversions.

Is just OLD FART RATTLING or does anyone else see something wrong here?
