As said the dual system was to meet the ADRs which said you had to have it (safety they say ) it was supposed to stop total brake /failure if the system lost a side, the shuttle moves across supposedly stopping the total loss ( never seen one work, like doc said undo the rear cylinder and see :shock: the pedal still goes to floor)

If thats your car in your avatar then it shouldn't have the dual system unless its a later rover, they were only fitted to later clubmans in Australia

Yes it is my car (62 Morris 850) the previous owner rebuilt/reshelled a clubman into it hence the duel system :wink: honestly the only 850 pays is the boot, bonnet and the shell :roll: .

Both the tins I have are old clutch MC, will one work as a brake MC with no problems? (so long as I put a rear bias in the car).

You will probably have trouble fitting them in the normal fashion, the tin tank is in a different radial position (relative to flange) compared to a brake one. And you need to put the restrictor valve in the top of it.
Apart from that yes it'd `work' but pedal will be heavier, most brake ones are 0.70" not 0.75" like clutch ones. They move less oil in the pedal stroke than a 0.75 would and this gives more hydraulic pressure.
I would get thee a 0.70" brake one, tin or plastic- don't matter. :wink:
