    Bill,

    >An added benefit of this would be that it would make bleeding both the
    front and rear axle a big ol' PITA.
    ...Very true...
    >A drawback might be that the "rear circuit" part of the master ain't
    designed to operate two slaves per wheel.
    ...Here's a solution for that...Crown Vic master cylinder, (NAPA Pt. #
    4739467, sold as a "Safety Stop" product, @ $35). That's what I run on my 88
    (info courtesy of Hank Rutherford)

    I would also recommend a good flush of the Castrol GT-LMA (alcohol works)
    and replace with Silicone fluid. Much higher boiling point...you live in CO
    mountains now, right? This will help reduce the effects of brake fade on
    long downhills.
