Well spotted and yes they are .ive used this set up on previous cars and it works a treat..bigger bore piston in cylinder pushing more fluid... bigger rear cylinders = awesome brakes  :-)

Never heard of this, please give us details of how this is done and what parts you've used please.

 

Lovely job you're making too.

Thanks..Brake wise im using 7.5 s disks  braided lines at wheel end..Master cylinder ( CLUTCH ) is 0.75" bore with 0.50" rear wheel cylinders..check the sizes when ordering as they vary otherwise you could get sent the wrong ones...Also depending on your back plates the location dowel on the rear cylinders may need re-drilling..from memory i think the rear cylinders came standard on early GT's..
