    You will need to scrap the standard master cylinder and servo for the pedal box and put new brake lines in as you will be using seperate lines for front and back instead of diagonal lines. Also will need to plug up the hole in the inlet manifold where the servo vacuum pipe would go.

    The pedal feel will be alot harder without a servo but I think you can adjust the pivot of the foot pedal to make it better, havnt got this far yet though.

    You'll have trouble getting in to bend the clutch cable hole iirc.



    Why've you cut this lug off?
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    Done the clutch cable hole, it's the heater matrix pipe I forgot to do.

    I thought there was a lug to come off for tie bar clearance and was the one in picture for radiator fan?? Can't remember now

    Yes the above one fouls the standard rad fan (not an issue if you're running a slimline one in front though)

    Correct there's a lug underneath somewhere that can foul the tiebar

    Made a rose jointed short shifter linkage using m8 and m10 rose joints. Drilled using a lathe.





    Started the tap in the lathe to make sure it was straight



    Then finished by hand
