A lot depends on your caliper piston sizes. What calipers do you have now?

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

I assume you have Dynalites on the front, in which case 0.625" front and 0.7" rear.

35mm pistons are the same as the Dynalites so those sizes should be a good starting point for you.

Just out of curiosity more than anything else - what are you hoping to gain by having a dual braking system?

I was going to suggest fitting a brake bias valve instead but if you require a dual system for some disciplines of motorsport, then you don't
have this option........
