Question M/C question

I bought the brakes from a 996 turbo. The disks are the original ones and the calipers have cooling fins on them. I was thinking of using a type 2 m/c without the servo mechanism, or a 944 m/c or even the tilton assembly ( two seperate m/c for front and rear). What would you do? I dont think that the tilton's can run a dual circuit since they are designed for race use...
info on the tilton's stuff is here:

Any help or ideas are welcome

According to my info, the 993TT had a 25.4mm M/C with a stroke of 17mm for the front circuit and 15mm for the rear. Thats ALOT of volume of fluid to move with those calipers. The M/C for the 996TT should be about as big I'd assume.

You can use this info to compare with the Bus M/C.

I'm running 993TT fronts and 944T fronts on the rear for calipers, and am using dual Wilwood M/C's on a custom mount with stock pedals with balance bar and remote bias adjuster. 25.4mm M/C for the front circuit and 22.22mm M/C for the rear.

Hope this helps.
