I think drum brakes require a certain pressure to remain in the brake line where as disks don't, I had a problem with the front brakes locking on after I fitted my disk brakes to the front of my LC while still using a drum brake master cylinder, Put a disk brake master on and it was fine as no pressure was being held in the line.

Yep. Drum brakes require a higher residual pressure for them to work correctly. You can buy inline residual pressure valves to suit your drum brakes without having to change the master cylinder.

Not required on ADR style master cylinders like COmmodore
Commodore came with drum rear and used the same master as the disc rear
