Damage from back pressure on Master?

[Bjkadron]

Hello,

I was wondering if back pressure on a Master cyl would cause damage. Pressures equal to another master cyl. on the same line. My thinking is the master would act like a slave and all the stress would go to the small retaining ring that holds the piston in. Is this correct?

Thanks.

I don't know, are you thinking hand brake?

Yep, it would come in quite handy with some of the things I would like to do.

No one? I was thinking about doing a Shutoff for the back line. Then using Having the handbrake usable. But it would be nice to be able to have all wheel brakes and the ability to use just the rears. I know I could just do a double caliper setup, but I was looking for some other way...

I figured it out.

try using sand rail cutting brakes.

Well, don't hold out on us. can you use two master cylinders in the same system?

Pretty much..

The answer is.. Yes and no.. You cant just run a T and put two master cylinders on it. But, if you hook the outlet line of one up to the inlet of another (that is designed for it) you can run them in series basically. Wilwood has some cylinders that work for this as I would assume others do.
