remote servos?

[novadose2009]

does anyone no much about these and how they work ect.

im doing a shaved and smoothed euro style engine bay and just wondered whether i could use a remote servo and mount it some were else anyone have any ideas on this?

thanks

[comptoncj]

Use a corsa B servo where the battery would be and put the battery in the boot, cover it with one of those carbon covers and job done servo moved :)

that was what i was going to do but ive got no bulkhead ive shaved and smoothed the bay and ive seen people use remote servos and would like to find out more and see if theyd be best

Why don't you just get rid of the servo and use floor mounted pedal box? Then it's gone completely

As above

[novadose2009]

floor mounted pedal box? any pictures

[SR-Rally]

Search eBay there's usually loads on there

[novadose2009]

anything in particualr i should be looking for?

also once fitted would these get in way of carpet ect as this is for my road car with carpets ect

[SR-Rally]

Search nova pedal box and some will come up I'm sure. I would do it but I'm on iPhone and can't be arsed :) you would need to trim your carpet around it but nothing major

[peester]

worth mentioning an o.e driving position is quite upright ; this maybe uncomfortable for a floor-mounted pedal assembly..
Be worth 'trying' it out, you might not like the feel..

Maybe your remote idea is best..?

There is a company who advertise in the club area that do these, spend a tenner and see what you get.

Pics of your bay are needed.

Why not create a false bulk head to hide things like the servo, wiper motor, fan, etc etc.

[novadose2009]

any ideas of info on remote servos ?

[Benn]

I've seen a golf that had it all mounted under the dash, was a nightmare cause you have to make the linkage go from push/pull (in and out like it is now) to left and right (to move the piston in and out on the m/c)

I'd do pedal box with no servo.

how would that work? im no mechanic

[mowgli]

you simply have no servo, just a racing car style pedal box in the footwell.

[Benn]

you can then just plate the holes in the bulk head in the bay, run all the brake lines in car then thru the inner wings...
