Hope this finds everyone well during this holiday season.

I am in the beginning phase of a brake upgrade for the 1966 1800S and wanted to ask fellow bricksters if anyone has found a good direct bolt in dual circuit master cylinder? I know that Girling did produce dual units (#64068680 & #74066070) with the same bolt pattern as the single circuit units used on the older Volvo's, but as of yet I have never seen one installed. Which leads to the question why not???

I would like to upgrade to a dual circuit system but really don't want to drill holes in the firewall. I have the stainless steel tubing, and am planning to run the front brakes off one circuit and the rear off the other. The idea is to look as stock as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Happy holidays to all....
