I think (dangerous, I know) you would create twice the pressure rather than pump twice the volume, since you have a fixed orifice in the diameter of the line from the master to the slave.

Theo is right in that something will either break or the slave will blow out of its bore.

But what if you use an early series Alpine brake master for the clutch master? I would guess that with 1/2 the pressure you might not actualte the clutch lever far enough to totally disengage the clutch, and/or the stroke of the Alpine master would not be long enough to actuate it.

If it did release and everything was well, then maybe having an early series master for both the brake and the clutch might not be a bad idea, given the commonality of replacement parts (seals).
