I have this in my shop to correct a brake problem!! One cylinder is front brakes and the other is rear brakes. Anybody ever seen this and why would anyone set up their brakes like this? Both ends are disk brakes.

I've seen them on Mustangs

This is a typical race car installation. Using separate M/Cs for front and back allows you to get infinite adjustability in the front/back brake balance. Typically, these dual M/C setups have a threaded balance bar between the two with an attach point in the middle for the pedal. By adjusting this attach point closer to one or the other of the two M/Cs, you can easily change the front/back bias.

That is exactly what is on this car, a 1970 Mustang. The owner wants to remove this setup and go back to a power booster and regular master cylinder.

Should not be that big of deal, its only money and parts...
