It is a '69 with dual boosters so it must be dual circuit. I have not
yet fiddled with these brakes so I am somewhat ignorant.
I love the overkill dual boosters combined with the single clutch/brake
fluid reservoir with a clutch slave so close to road salt that
easy-to-imagine failure could cause total fluid loss (underkill?).
Cheers,
Stephen
