I've never run a drum brake vehicle with a dual master cylinder that didn't have one. I imagine you can, but supposedly it allows both brakes to work right if one cylinder is low in the master. Maybe the picture will make more sense.
Thanks for the reply Bill.

That pic is helpful too.

Dale, that's a great compliment from the likes of you, building your crazy creation. Thank you.

I will certainly practice before I make the pieces.

The cost of a few extra feet of pipe is cheap in comparison.
