<VV> Dual MC conversion failures- brake experts?

Greetings again all,

     Last year I began looking into why I had no brakes when I blew a single front brake line despite having installed a Dual MC conversion.  I picked up some interesting info but I dropped the ball when I no longer had sufficient time to pursue it further.

     I have posted a thread here http://www.corvairforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=1968 on corvairforum.com.  I felt that a forum thread was a better format to keep track of gathered information.

     For those who don't want to read, my hypothesis is that the Dual MC conversion provided to us by our vendors will often not prevent a total loss of brakes as expected, most likely due to the fact that it does not include a "shuttle valve system".  I have only a vague idea of what this is or how it works so if anyone here knows a lot about brakes and can help me get the facts straight I'd very much appreciate it.  

     If anyone doesn't want to use the forum please feel free to email me directly at vairguy at echoes.net with your input.



Thank you all very much,
