single pair of cylinders and interconnected pedals. This whole thread has
had me confused as to why guys are doing the added complication of dual
cylinder assemblies.

I gave up trying to figure out where to put them and how to use them,
let alone find a supplier. I assume one set of brake pads.
If they are on the output side, once the brakes are set the brakes
will stay locked.
If they are on the intake side, both pedals become slower acting, but
this has the best chance for success.
If the brakes are in series, the down stream set dominates, and the up
stream pedals are useless. This is my approach.
After asking around I was not able to find check valves.
I was able to see a Rebel that had a mechanical system but plane is in
Maine now.

Hi Jack
No I don't but out of curiosity how would you plumb them. Off the top of
my head I don't see how 4 check valves will work. Maybe on the inlets to
the cylinder if they will open under very little pressure but then it
will be difficult to bleed the system. Most guys seem to use a
mechanical system to link the brake pedals to one cylinder on the Rebel.
