<VV> Dual Master comment (Disk Brake)

[RoboMan91324@aol.com]

I am not an expert but isn't there a balance adjustment for front to rear on 
dual master cylinders?  I suspect that the front to rear braking requirements 
are addressed on stock single MC Corvairs by the different sizes of the brake 
shoes and drums.  I would imagine that a disk brake setup would throw this off 
significantly to the point that a balance adjustment would be required.  You 
don't want one set of wheels locking up in an emergency braking episode.  Is 
this correct?  If so, I would guess that you don't want to use a disk brake 
setup with a single MC.
