The old master cylinder was a 2-stage one - it looks very much like the
one on a 1970s Triumph TR6 - large rectangular plastic reservoir on top
of the metal housing which has 2 tubes coming out of it.  I replaced
this with the Girling master cylinder, which is a cylindrical metal
reservoir, with one tube coming out of it.  The single tube goes to a
T-piece which feeds both of the brake circuits.  So I now have dual
brake circuits but a single-stage master cylinder.

On Ron's Marcos, did he replace the brake master cylinder with a 
single circuit master cylinder? The large round reservoir master 
cylinders were found on Triumph spitfires (and others), this is what 
my Marcos has #8001 (dual circuit). Did Ron's car have a dual circuit 
brake system? If the car still has dual circuit brakes I am 
interested in what master cylinder is used. I quess a dual circuit 
system could be made up of two single circuit master cylinders, like 
some race cars have. If 2 master cylinders were used I would like to 
see a picture of how the brackets were made.
