Just wondering if anyone has a good set of used brake masters
gathering dust that they'd like to sell reasonably. Needed for 2
seater side-by side using 6" Cessna wheels and brakes. Prefer 4 cyls
for full dual control, but either a pair of integral reservoir or
external reservoir cyls would be a start.
Look into fabricating a mechanical linkage to tie the pedals together for
dual control instead of using four cylinders. IMO, this has several
advantages:
1. lighter weight (possibly).
2. fewer fittings and connections to leak.
3. a LOT easier to bleed the air out of the system.
4. two less cylinders to malfunction and maintain.

Thought of that - if a tandem it would be a no-brainer.
I doubt the linkage could be built "much" lighter, if at all, than a
second set of cyls.
It would be much more complex, with more chance of failure.
Bleeding bottom up solves the bleeding problem.
