Plumbed together it could be a cheap way to increase break pad area.

I think the fiesta caliper is used for the hydraulic handbrake.

Hi this brake set up is for my Road Rally car. The Caliper on the left is for foot brake only and is controled by a Bi-as box with its own master cylinder.
The Caliper on the right is Handbrake only and controled by the Hydraulic Handbrake in it own seperate system and fluid bottle.
I use comp pads in the handbrake caliper as i have that wound up so at any speed i can give the slightest tug and it works.

have a visit of my site and have a nose
currently rebuilding the engine so not out competeing at present.
