i did it works mint as but had one problem but not sure if it was due to rear drums or faulty master

you can do it but because drums need a small amount of line pressure (done by the master cyl) your rear calipers will be on a bit all the time.

^I have read before of drums having a bit of line pressure with brakes at rest (ie foot off the brake). I think (correct me if I am wrong) there is a sort of valve in the master cyl that holds slight pressure on the drums at all times. If that is true, then putting a vt master into a vl with drum rear shouldn't be an issue, because no vt's had drums therefore none of the vt master cylinders will be putting any pressure on the rear line when at rest.

you can only use the master if there is a residual pressure valve in the master, if there isn't slight pressure in the line the seats within the wheel cyclinders can collapse and let all the fluid piss out you can get an inline valve to accommodate for this

Do it the right way in one go and change to discs in the rear at the same time as you do the booster and master upgrade.
