Sorry, didn't see this thread first...

If your able to reuse your master cylinder, depending upon if the
proportioning is built in or not... (easy to tell, does it have 2 lines or 4
lines?)  If it has two lines, i'm pretty sure htats what most ABS systems
use...  then it splits that out to the two 'safety' circuits.

As mentioned before, it starts with whatever pressure you put on the
pedal... could be 1000 psi hydraulic for all we know...  either way, the
motor is there to kick the pressure up when the pedal hits the floor and
your still not stopped yet...
