My 71 Ford Capri has a dual piston master cylinder which separately feed the front and rear brake systems. Front are disc and the rears are drum. I'm finding that the balance between my fronts and rears degrade during a race, especially at a tough track like Laguna Seca. My theory is that the fronts auto adjust but the rears get looser and looser as the pads wear. Since they are fed by different cylinders which are connected together, the pedal travel is the same (fronts are compressed) although the rears need more travel to compensate for the rear wear.
My thought is to connect the two cylinders together and feed the fronts and rears from a common reservoir. Of course, I'm aware that my pedal height will fall as the rear brakes wear and I could lose all my brakes if I have a single line failure either on the fronts or rears.
What do you guys (or gals) think?
