    You'd need a hydraulic pedal, one that has a built in master cylinder and reservoir.

    Someone mentioned earlier the booster being made internally and to the side, the person who was selling them was Terry from oldskool Vulcan werks in the u.s however it is only for left hand drive and terry told me he won't be making rhd. Regardless I think he went bankrupt or gt in trouble and doesn't make anything anymore I believe.

    This is my option, a wildwood pedal box running just the m/c. A lot of work and mockups, and I still don't know the end result.





    I would say, research and consider which route you want to take, as it's very pricey.

    I've probably already posted this earlier in the thread - but this is the route I'm taking - Items then I just need to decide on a remote booster. It's pretty pricey especially if you consider shipping, but I'm actually going to fly to the UK and pick it up when I'm next over, which will bring the price down to about 360 pounds. Not bad considering it's a hydro box too

    Here is a couple pix of my setup, my pedal box is not mounted to the firewall at all. This was done becasue when you dont run a booster you have to apply alot!!! of brake pressure the harder you push the quicker you stop, therefore causeing damge to your freshly painted firewall. Beware this setup is not for everyone it looks cool and works, but you have to be midfull at all times when you go to stop hit the pedal hard.

    The pedal box is mounted to a cross bar inside the car with supports to the lower/floor in the centre of the car it has been passed by an engineer and has little to no flex.
