what master cylinder are you useing i think you'll need dual circut with 4 wheel discs and i think you would then need 2 boosters 1 for the front 1 for the rear, this is all just an educated guess though
sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping

I used Gemini booster and VN Commode master cylinder on mine.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

In my case Im using the original seat wheel and steering box as I'm not altering the seating position i didn't see any reason to move the pedal position I put the pic up mainly to show how the fire wall is supported.
