I think the limiting factor, as far as the M35 goes, is the air pack/booster.
It has a single inlet and outlet. If you split this system and send one
line around the booster, you will eliminate power brakes on the one axle.
Remember that splitting the system,in itself wont work. Both lines need to
run through a pressure differential switch which senses the loss of pressure
in that side and closes that side of the system. Even if you were to run 2
complete and separate brake systems you would still have to engineer a brake
bias adjustment system. In separate systems a link between the separate
systems is used and the pedal attached to it. Serious considerations need to
be made before reengineering a brake system. Just as a hint to all, with this
single system, make sure your driveline brake is in top notch condition. It
can be really useful in a crisis brake failure and properly maintained and
adjusted can be quite effective.
