<VV> Dual master cyl

[Ray "Grymm" Rodriguez]

Apparently there is some confusion regarding my dual MC research please 
allow me to clarify.

I am mostly after a diagram of the factory Dual MC setup so that I can see 
the differences (apparently significant) between that setup and the 
"conversion" setup many of us have.  I only want to review this diagram as a 
matter of course and I do not expect to learn anything surprising here.  I 
already have educated myself on the function of the Dual MC itself, I want 
to see how the lines are run etc. on the factory corvair setup.

My goal is to determine why a number of us (including myself) have 
experienced a total loss of brakes with a Dual MC conversion when one 
reservoir (it seems always the primary) became empty.  We should have had 
some braking action from the secondary system... that is the whole point of 
having a dual MC setup.  I already have some ideas as to where the problem 
is, but I don't want to go into that any further until I do more testing.

Once more for clarification:  I am fully aware of what to expect when one 
half of the system is compromised, I didn't experience poor braking and low 
pedal... I experienced absolutely NO brakes when just one wheel cylinder 
blew out.... that should NOT be the case.  The reason I'm researching the 
matter rather than just assuming a defective MC and doing an exchange is 
that I learned that this has happened to many others with the same 
conversion.
