Think about converting to the much safer front rear split 
Edit, I didnt think you could use the yellow tag cylinder on a diagonal split as one circuit will get more force than the other giving uneven braking. Does your car crab under heavy breaking? Edited by Sprocket on 6th Mar, 2009. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

you're braking on opposite corners, so the braking force is not distributed accross the axle and you end up with wheels turning at differnet speeds forcing the car to turn or crab or worse.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

Yes dont bother with that carbuncle!! Consider getting a bean can style master cylinder that has one outlet, then use a T piece to split between the front and the back. Then get a bias valve for the back brakes and robert is your mothers brother would that not mean if one brake is lost due to a leak all 4 are lost, would a yellow tag master cylinder not be better with front /rear split and then a bias valve on the rear line? i ask mainly cos thats what i had planned,  i have not bought my new master cylinder yet so just wanto be sure before i do
