    looks to me like you can use the basic idea of a motorcycle brake master cylinder and the mounting of a drum brake configuration from a truck for the shoe mounting and return system. that will make it easy and still a guaranteed to work system.

    hmmm.... you can give the pressure applied at the end of the hand lever vs. how much pressure would be applied to the actual plunger of the master cylinder, the pressure through the system although if it were a proper functioning hydraulic system with no air in it the pressure at the plunger would be so close to the pressure at the caliper it wouldnt really be useful to try and do the math. and it would all have so many variables it wouldnt be possible to compute with such vague instructions.

    says nothing about a booster system either. if you really want to dazzle and impress, design an inline booster system.
