HUH? The front and Rear calipers are already on separate lines. They
do not have a common pipe. One pipe for the two front calipers goes
to one port of the brake Master Cylinder and the other pipe for the
rear calipers goes to another port on the Master Cylinders. The
ports on the Master Cylinders are already their own entity (separate
from one another). This was done in case one of the set of brakes
has a problem the other functioning ones will work since they are on
separate links. The fronts "share" a port on the Master Cylinder via
a "T" split, same holds true for the rear BUT the front are isolated
front the rear. The only thing that the front and real calipers
share is the Brake Fluid Reservoir. Equal amount of pressure will go
to all Calipers (front and rear) on a working system. Pressure
regulators are used on computer controlled brake systems...not fully
manual ones like the Delorean.
