There are several copy-cats out there. One on Ebay in particular at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1955...ategoryZ33566QQihZ009QQitemZ190031708063 Any advice would be appreciated.

So far so good. But there is no chance to mount the clutch pedal wich is mounted together with the brake pedal on the original master cyinder.
I will ether modify the booster braket to accept the clutch pedal or cut the front portion of the original cylinder of and bolt it to the braket.
I go and make some pics and post them here to show the procedure.

Is there an advantage to this position vs. mounting on the firewall? I can see the benefit of not needing to rework the brake pedal and it keeps the engine compartment clean, but I wonder how tough it is to fill the master and if it is more suseptable to damage under the cab?
Any advice is appreciated | | |
