Still in place, providing visual input daily.

I think that incident changed my prescription though. Or maybe I've just stepped up to the next level of "old"

Been busy building under cab paneling and a brake/clutch/throttle pedal bracket to bolt to the firewall. Finished up the final welds on that today.

So the masters are in the cab as opposed to the engine compartment?

Correct. Reservoirs are remote mount on the fire wall- engine side

Are you going to run one, or two reservoirs?

Three. Clutch gets its own and the brake pedal gets a reservoir for each master.

Check the picture of the pedal assembly in the truck again. There are three masters there. The clutch gets its own, the front brakes gets their own reservoir and master and the rear brakes get their own reservoir and master.

There is a balance adjustment in the pedal assembly to fine tune front rear ratio.

It's a safety thing. If one of the systems fails you still have either front or rear brakes. Or you've lost them both and you're totally hosed 🤣

Dual mastes are also a requirement for a PA Street Rod registration since I abandoned the antique registration idea.

Odd that a street rod needs two brake masters and every other 4 wheeled vehicle on the road only needs one. Granted they're split systems with a proportioning valve..  Huh?

Carry on.

Split master is required for vehicles running tires wider than 9 in. If I were running skinnier tires then I could just go with a single master and a proportioning valve somewhere.
