Will this work??????

Re: trying to hook this hanbrake up!!!!! Best thing to do is buy the special fitting that replaces the fitting where the stock resevoir comes in at on your master cylinder. The new one of course will let you bolt up your hand brake line to it, and it does away with your resevoir at the rear master cylinder. You will now use one resevoir on your hand brake master cylinder set-up...

no it's not going to work. When rear pedal is released it opens passage to the rear reservoir(to fill up the system). If you press handlever the fluid is going to your rear reservoir.
Hand brake needs to attact to the point where the rear reservoir was or use double caliber setup.
was it freestyleinc? who made suitable rear-master cylinders for this kind of setup?
