The mechanism relies primarily on resistance being generated in one circuit to operate the other, but if there's no resistance due to a fluid leak or something, the pedal goes much further before operating the other circuit. That travel must be possible to achieve or the second circuit won't work properly. I had the rear circuit fail and the pedal goes almost to the bulkhead before much happens. Not a nice feeling. I assumed that the local manufacture template was an after-thought by VW to ensure enough pedal movement to allow for the second circuit to still be operated if the other failed. The single circuit doesn't really need the extra travel, does it? Dave.
