dual circuit brakes question
Discussion
Hi,
As part of a RHD to LHD conversion of my 96 Chim, the prior owner had removed the clutch fluid reservoir and piped the brake fluid reservoir so it services both the brakes and the clutch. I believe the prior owner routed one of the single fluid outputs into a "Y piece" to service both inputs to the brake master cylinder.
The car uses the standard brake master cylinder.
My mechanic has advised that this means I have lost the dual circuit functionality by sharing the reservoir with the clutch.
How does this impact the dual circuit functionality? Dues the brake fluid reservoir have an internal baffle that ensures a separate feed to each circuit?
I'm assuming the right thing to do is go back to a factory type set up and put the clutch in its own supply, but would like to understand the dual circuit design better.
Thanks
