I just did this on my notch when I went to front discs. The late type3 master 
cylinder fits just fine, yeah you're gonna need a couple of new hard lines -- 
about the reservoir thing though....... I used my stock reservoir then went 
into a "T" over the master cylinder and then into it with new flexible 
silicone lines. Some have warned me of the dire consequences of doing this ( 
single reservoir into dual MC ) " you'll never know if one circuit or the 
other is going bad ahhhh !!!!!!! "
I figure if I'm having a brake failure that's why Ferdinand gave us a parking 
brake handle ( you see -- all aircooled VW's --regardless of year had both 
hydraulic and cable brakes --- ;)
