so long as you have a fluid level sensor i don't see a problem.

oh and the balance bar will need to be locked off

Check the regs as the IVA has changed IIRC to say that if one circuit fails you need to still have a certain %age of force on the other circuit. This is a problem with 7's if the fronts fail as they hardly have any braking on the rear circuit.

May be way off the mark of course but I'd just check to be certain!
