I just wanted to ask for some advice ……
As part of my 1961 BT7 re-build I am taking the opportunity to move to a dual braking system, and to this end I plan to install a dual circuit pedal box with balance bar so I can have independent front and rear master cylinders. At the rear I am using the standard drum brakes, whilst at the front I have upgraded to thicker BJ8 disks and type 16 callipers.
The big question is whether I need a servo in the system. My initial thoughts based on some advice I had was to do this but I am not too sure and would value folks experience, especially if they have a not too dissimilar set-up regarding:

- How important is having a servo with the set-up I am planning?
- If I go without a servo what size master cylinders are recommended for the back and the front?
