it was intended to reduce pressure to the rear brakes to stop them locking up when only carrying a light load, if i remember correctly.

you should ba able to just bin it as its another grand idea that int worth the bother

Silly-arse dangerous thing. Bin it.

If you find the back end tends to lock up try to find wheel cylinders that fit, but have smaller diameter pistons. That will help a lot. I think you should be able to locate such cylinders quite easily.

Charles that is around the wrong way, larger cylinder bore to slow the piston down, smaller to increase the speed of the piston.

Sorry .... absolutely NOT.

Given any pressure in the fluid, the smaller diameter slave cylinders will exert LESS force on the brake shoes.

They will of course take up the slack quicker, but the applied FORCE will be less.
