I plan to use a 605 steering box and a tilt column but can't decide whether to keep the brake pedal on the floor or hand it from the firewall.
My question is with moving the master cylinder / booster under the seat so you can't check the fluid easliy.
I will appreciate input from anyone that moved the brake system to the firewall, good or bad.
Thanks---
