To use a disc/drum MC on a 4-wheel disc system, the MC needs to be capable of about 1200 psi and has to have adequate volume to operate the rear disc calipers. The MC bore needs to be about 7/8" to 1", and the pedal ratio needs to be around 5:1. Be sure to remove the residual pressure valve to the rear drums. An adjustable proportioning valve can be used to adjust the front-to-rear brake bias.
