Ditto ... except I keep seeing the adjustable brake bias bar setup that was
made for my 4k racecar!  It uses dual master cylinders and no brake booster
but has a progressive linkage from the brake pedal ... choose the bore sizes
carefully and pedal effort is actually quite reasonable.  Plus, it makes
adjusting the front-rear proportioning *much* easier.  :^)
