I'm currently planning out the brakes on the race truck, and for simplicity/drag reduction's sake I'm running a single pot master cylinder with no front brakes, just two drums in the rear. I'd like to have a little more redundancy, does a cost effective solution exist for automatically diverting brake pressure should one lose a brake line?
Supposedly the distribution blocks on some older vehicles had a toggle in them that would flop over to one side if asymmetric pressure were applied, diverting it all to the good side. But nobody I've spoken to has been able to verify that they perform as intended.
Thoughts?
