oh yeah nah the brakes will be terrible at best!!... the plan is to increase the leverage value on the pedal (did this many years ago on a rally car after removing the booster and it gave good pedal feel (boosters remove a fair bit of feel) without the dramas of heaving the boot into it every time you wanted to slow even a little bit)

it is a simple way of making it fit into the engine bay as there is no way i'd get a booster in there so long as its not too heavy she'll be right
here is a link to a wee vid of it running

if you still want to run a booster you can stick a remote one on, my flatdeck has got the standard booster on the master cylinder then a remote one running on the front brakes to boost up the braking power

thats a nifty idea.... ugly, but nifty...
no dramas with it??

i still don't think its going to need one. The proof will be when i drive it properly, so long as i can increase the leverage it should be good as gold. the other benefit of course is better feel, more direct braking and less sh@t hangin round the engine bay (not a lot of room to play with)

i think at the moment the weight dist is about 94.7% on the front wheels (drives like it is anyway) so as long as i can get a decent whack of stop onto them all shall be well
