Thanks for your reply MickMate.
I have tandem master cylinders 3/4" front and 7/8" rear with an adjustable balance bar. I believe I've got the hydraulic sizing correct but would like to see your Excel sheet. email me:

My front calipers are Wilwood four piston and the rear are Jaguar XKE. Even if the masters I have iinstalled are are appropriate, I think that the mechanical balance bar would still be of help in tuning in the brakes.
I do not know how to use valves for balancing the brakes when using two master cylinders. Can you direct me to where I may read about how to do the plumbing and what types for proportioning valves to use. This option may be easier than modifying the mechanical balance bar.
Why do you advise against using remote adjustment for street cars? Seems like if the car were used occasionally on the track the remote adjusting would be beneficial?
Thanks,
Arthur
