48 - 52 dual master w/dual booster?
Anyone out there tried this dual 1"-dia. master cylinder with dual booster? See eBay item #4600884800. Looks like as good a way as any to get dual brake circuits and while I could do without the power, why not ?

Is that supposed to be a dual circuit booster?
My brain hurts when I try and visualize that.

It's dual hydraulic circuits and dual vacuum booster (two small diameter diaphragms to clear the floorpan).

That looks like a good deal. It has 3/16'' ports on both sides. It looks like a mustang II power brake booster. I would buy it at that price.

If clearance is a problem, why not use a Hydro-boost unit instead of vacuum. These are common on 3/4 and 1 ton trucks and I have seen some on larger cars, but can't remember what they were.

I haven't heard good things about the HydroVac units, especially that there are few people able to repair them. This appears to be pretty conventional.
