Hey Greg
I've picked up a 7" booster and master now I want to know is the hole on your fire wall large enough for the rubber boot on the back of the booster to go through and did you modify the original linkage rod from the pedal to the threaded shaft of the booster.
Hope that makes sense.

Hi Neil,
Not sure who you meant to ask but I did move the holes away from the bonnet hinge, bent the pedal around the steering column, modified the pushrod to suit the EK one and yes made the hole large enough for the rubber to fit through. I am sure MR nomad did the same.

Thanks Greg;
I was directing it to Nomad just read the name at the bottom of the popst must have been before early morning coffee
I thought you would have to make the hole large enough for the rubber boot and Nomads pedal box did look like it was that large but I just wanted to check.
I think I will also bend the pedal around have to wait and see.
Regards
Neil

you definitely need to enlarge / create the hole mate!

She's off to the exhaust shop in a few weeks and then into my actual garage to finally get it out of the weather. Better late than never

Nathan, I like the steering wheel as it ties in with the panel you have below the dash, nice

Well another major tick... the exhaust got done, stainless all the way back from the headers, and an O2 mount for me to mess around with... and i may be a bit biased but it sounds swweeeeeettttt! (shamless plug to the boys at Mettams Mufflers in Kelsmcott they did a bang up job and turned it around inside a day - i have no ties to them fyi)

i need to move a mount or 2, but that was my decision, i got them just to go to temp mounts until decided on the best way for it...

anyways enough talking...
