Anyone with a ls 2175 or GT has it set up. Hard explain but easy to show.

i have a dual circut setup with a booster.

From the master the front line goes to the booster inlet (mines under the dash) then from the booster outlet it goes to a T intersection and then to both front calipers.

The rear line goes through a brake light switch then to the T intersection at the rear of the car.

re: late model clubby dual circuit system - is it any good? Is it worth swapping into an older clubby without this set up?

They are better, but a little more of a pain to bleed. Not really a big issue though.

i think if one 'circuit' fails the valve blocks it off and directs all power to the remaining active circuit?

hence the brake fail light on the dash?

i think so ?:D but im not fitting those lights, because im sure i would know if the brakes failed. im going to cover the ashtray hole and the 2 light holes, then trim the rail im yellow vinyl.

The brake fail light is connected to a switch which is activated when there is a difference in pressure between the two lines. The valve and switch are in that H shaped thing in the engine bay

Ask Brad (13secmini)- it didn't work for him, before or after the MC was rebuilt by Better Brakes.
He found if he blocked the rear line, he had pedal! Problem was air leaks into rear wheel cyls. So much for dual circuits!
Now, how is this dual circuit thing supposed to work in an emergency, again.. :lol: :evil:
