I know sev. folks who run these on their 88s--is its bore diameter large
enough to work the 109 fronts? I already have the regular rover
dual-circuit master, but if this thing costs $35 and has a big ol' bore
front and back . . .

Sadly, the problem ain't boiling fluid. This occurs when attempting
steep stuff in 1and 2 low. Try it, fail, stop. Not much reason for fade
in a situation like that, I don't think. I, well Dave Gomes really, just
re-did all my lines, but b/c I was too lazy to dissassy and rebuild my
wheel cylinders (and too cheap to rebuild the master at $55/rebuild kit)
I just stuck w/ LMA.
