Re: Proud father of a 67 rag top
when upgrading your master cylinder to a dual circuit (which is a BRILLIANT idea- I applaud you for that 
) just make sure your replacement cylinder has a one-inch main bore, and that you use a proportioning valve that does not hold residual pressure (or if you use a self-proportioning MC, same deal: find one that does not have a residual pressure valve)
The Patrol's brakes are not designed to be self-adjusting, so they require a "full release" hydraulic system to operate properly...
