Yeah, I have a dual master and it was advertised as drum rear, I assumed that meant disk front, and considering one resoviour (how ever you spell it), is bigger than the other, I think it was a fair assumption.
I did the same with the rear brake line, but didn't have a blank off, so just crushed a bit of pipe and screwed it in. It seems to have worked OK, it dosn't leak, but not real pretty either.
As for the wheels, I'm using 14" Pintara steel rims with 165/60/14 tyres, so 1200 rims would be too small and casue the rear breaks to lock earlier I think. Possibly need to rebuild the calipers, I had some problems with them sticking even after removing the non return valve out of the master cylinder, so I pulled them both down, took the centre bits out of the pistons so they don't screw in and out any more and cleaned them all up and put them back on the car. It could still be causing me some problems though.
Link to the master cylinder I bought on e-bay.

As I said, one fluid bank is bigger than the other and some of the castings on the side are different. I just took the conecting rod from my old master and put it in the new one. It bolts straight up to the firewall, and hooks up to the brake pedal the same as the original one, no modification at all.
By the way, the entire set up was not my idea at all, it all came from seeing just how easy it was to do when I saw Mikey85's ute, so thanx mate your the #uc$%# MAN!!!!!
Plenty of guard clearence, not lowered, but scrubs on the inside at the back on full lock.
What she looks like with the 14's at standard suspension height.
Brake master cylinder and midified brake lines. The bottom right outlet in the block is blanked off, but you can't see it in this photo.
Bolts straight to firewall, no mods to pedal or firewall at all.
This is the part of the hand brake mech that is inside the piston it's slef. I took it all out, because the hand brake on the calipers were giving me some problems.
PROBLEMS I HAD AND HOW I FIXED THEM.
HAND BRAKE MECHANISM
I pulled the mechanism out of the piston, but left the screw part in because that is the bit with the seal for the back of the caliper.
FRONT WHEELS LOCKING ON
I found that there was a non return valve in the master cylinder, so I took it out. There is still one in the circuit that operated the drums on the back. Also, I was using the old pads that came with the calipers, I replaced these with new ones, as I should have done in the first place.
BACKING PLATES FOULING ON STEERING ARM
Trim the bracket.
BRAKE LINES DIDN'T FIT.
The brake lines were the wrong shape, and the one for the drums needed to be moved to the master cylinder, and taken out of the brak splitter block. I used brake line joiners from a Daywoo (can't spell, sorry), which you get from under the bonet, cut a couple of meters of brake line out of a car at the wreckers, and took a hand full of the line male bolts ( the threaded parts on the hard lines). I used a pipe cutter and a flaring tool my Dad gave me to manufacture new brake lines to suit. Using the joiners, it really was a simple job because the brake line is pretty easy to shape by hand.
REARS LOCKING BEFORE THE FRONT
Still having problems with that, but not too bad at all. First of all I was using old pads, but when I put new ones in they came good. Maby the pads still need a bit more bedding in, but if all else fails I will install a brake bias valve on the drums.
PROBLEM WITH THE SETUP OVER ALLL
The only real problem with this, cheap and VERY EASY setup, is that the disks are pintara rear, so they are solid disks and not vented rotors. The caliper does not alow for vented rotors, so under extreme use, like racing, there MAY be some issues with the heat from the rotors. I am only speculating here, they dosn't weigh much, but could be a problem.
There is also one other problem, if you can call it that. Aparantley these disks will only fit under 14's. I have seen other setups on the net using these calipers, and fitting them under 13's, but I don't really know how.
If you want the ins and outs of assembly of this BOLT ON setup, check out Mikey85, he has all the photos and explenations for it all, but really could not have cost less or been easier to do. I have posted a link to a guy who sells the pintara brake parts really cheap on here before, it was an e-bay add.
