Hi, I have a 68 120 and the original MC has been replaced with a dual circuit from a Nissan, I don't know the model though. I'm pretty sure the dual that came with the 68 fits on the earlier models, but it's cold out and unless no own else has the info you need I won't be going out to check.
Also, installing the twin line system has other complications. YOu should really get twin line calipers for the front. I have seen conversions where guys split the system front back, this is hardly any better than the one line system as hydraulic failure in the front would leave you with only rear brakes, and from experience I can tell you that rear only is no better than the e-brake and barely slows you down.
Anyway good luck with that, Patrick.
