Extended Footwell and Master Cylinders Installs

[Dan Carter]

I have the extended foot well and it consumes one set of holes for the clutch/brake master cylinders.

Where did some of you line the threesome up if you have the extended foot well?

Pictures anyone?

:idea:

Here's one option.

I'm confused- do you mean the MC reservoirs? The master cylinders themselves bolt to the pedal assembly.

If the reservoirs, then yes, putting them along the sides seems to be the default location. My car has them there as well.

I know of at least one car that left them on the MCs themselves, obviating the need to run lines outside the chassis. But of course, that makes them pretty difficult to add fluid when bleeding.

This is how mine are mounted. They were already mounted when I bought the car, but seems like a very good location to hide them under an extended shroud panel.

Will, you got me. Yes I meant the reservoirs :sad:

Looking at both pictures a have to take a look again at my foot box....it seems bigger. I will report back.

Thanks

Why 3 reservoirs?

See post 30 and remember this is to allow the pedal blx to adjust back and forward.

Can buy the unit here

Might be an easier way to package the whole lot

Great tip on the reservoir. One of the three is for the clutch, but I did see a dual reservoir container that merits looking into. As soon as I get the nose back on I can detail that option more. At this point I not 100% if the change would work, but can not see why not.

Thanks for the heads up.
