Will,

Yes, I did originally, but with limited success, mainly because I used the 
original levers with short extensions. Whatever cylinders you use, you need 
long and strong handles. The original gokart cylinders were certainly less 
troublesome otherwise. Myself and other builders had to fiddle around quite 
a bit with the Jamar dual cylinder before it worked properly.
