I have a problem with what master brake cylinder I should use for my barndoor. I will run beetle spindles up front with a CSP brake disc kit at the front. In the rear I will run Porsche 356A drum brakes.

I started looking at this one but it is 55 and up and 22,2 mm.

What about the Porsche 356 dual circut one, 19mm?

What are you guys running in similar setups?

I'm running 72-79 bus master (and spacer) w/ CSP disc front & 1 ton drums in the rear. I don't think the 19mm 356 bore will work well with discs. The 22.2 kit you linked should fit and work fine.

The 19mm will be fine. I'm using a type 1 '67 and later dual circuit on mine with CB discs and Type 3 rear drums, works great.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I will buy the kit for the 22,2 version for 55-> bus.
