These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one.

You didn't say if you have discs' or drums up front. Master Cylinders are different for each. Also would need residual pressure valves on both systems. Frames are pretty narrow. By the time you get your trans. and exhaust pipes thru there, new MC/Booster are pretty close to heat ?. Also need to put an access hatch in the floorboards to check brake fluid ? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 156 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 156 | here is a pic of what I built pic I had to redo it, lowered it and move it forward to make it work correctly, I also extended the lower arm on the brake pedal

TheShoer I like the fact that you used the original pedals, It does look awful tight. I even looked at some 90 degree systems that go under the dash but that seems nuts how do you fill that with a remote on the roof.
Britcon yours looks real clean on the firewall.
