Hi Gary

Just seen this!

Here's how I do them if keeping a "normal" manta/ascona pedal box and servo: just weld an eye in place of the cable hook on the pedal and use a girling or wilwood (girling copy) master cylinder, 0.75" bore

Alternatively, if you want to go non-servo, bias brake pedal box, you can use a triple cylinder box designed to fit a mk1 escort, but you need to remove (de-spotweld) the original reinforcer from the inside of the bulkhead:

PS lastly, you might want one of these if you are using the omega box:

Nice one retro power, looks good.

Im running the wilwood pedal as well for mine so just needed a hole through the bulk head :-)
