That depends on how far you want to go with it. Adding to what JimA 
said, I acquired a dual-circuit reservoir to go with the dual-circuit 
master -- this allows you to see which of the circuits is leaking before 
it quits, which I think is important -- and I made new hard lines for 
the front. (The single-circuit lines might be made to work, but we 
decided they were too short to make a clean fit; besides, they were old 
and cruddy.) The reservoir and master have 8mm fittings, as Jim 
mentioned, so I knew I'd need 8mm feed lines; two of those take a lot 
more space than a single 6mm line, and the reservoir is substantially 
larger as well, so I relocated the reservoir to a more-like-late-stock 
location at the rear of the boot (near the steering column) and created 
a new path for the feed lines through the fender well. (I got stock used 
lines from Jim, by the way.) Not a super-complex job, but it required 
some thought and work.
