[DeTomaso] Any interest in dual (no booster) brake MC conversion?

Didn't mean to throw a hand grenade here and then run away. But I did.
Seems like the Europeans are way ahead on their understanding of physics, think
I noted this 7 or 8 year ago. Reminds me of one of my favorite riddles:
"How many white European males does it take to make a light bulb?" Answer far
below.
Ken, maybe this can jump-start your project:

Also seems like a good reference would be the F40 ... IIRC Mike Drew knows a guy
with one; the pedal ratio, MC and caliper piston # and diameters would be a
handy comparison.

Answer: Eight ( Ampere, Coulomb, Faraday, Hertz, Joule, Ohm, Volt and Watt )

This is a pretty good short paper on setting up a dual MC system from stop tech:
http://dev.stoptech.com/docs/media-center-documents/pedalsetup-dualmaster-guide.pdf
I noticed that they say a typical power brake system has a 3.5 to 4 to 1 pedal
ratio and a dual MC system should be at least 5.5 and preferably 6.2. When I
tried to measure the Pantera brake pedal I thought it was about 5.5 to 1. Has
anyone else made this measurement?
