Syd,

I see your point about mechanical linkage, yes I've owned a Fezzy with just same system, worked well.

I also see tridents view regarding a 'single circuit'. With a single line to the slave cylinder you are going back to a single circuit. Should the slave fail ALL braking effort is lost unlike a dual circuit cylinder directly operated.
I'm sure a savvy SVA examiner would see this as single circuit brakes.

I like the look of the Mini horizontal M/C.

I don't really want to do any of this but it's forced upon me if I want to be able to stop

Rob,
Have you got top or floor hung pedals?

My brother in Aus uses a standard servo bolted onto the bulkhead, with a floor pivot pedal assembly.

A simple way out of this mess?


Regards,
Syd.

Hi Syd,

Floor mounted twin bias bar setup.

Fabrication's not a problem but I just hadn't paid much attention to servos before.

I need a size comparison first just to see what would fit.

Unfortunately just like everywhere else it's getting harder to be able to wander around breakers.

I think the bulkhead has plenty of room for a small servo.

Hi Rob,
Do you remember Rolands car - servoed Escort M/C.
Fits easily with a crossflow (don't know about Toyota).
Rather than use a bias bar, we used a hydraulic limiter for the rear circuit. This could be brought into the cockpit easily enough.
Floor mounted pedals too.

Managed to get a Mini Cooper servo and all connection pipes from Ebay.

See what I can do when it arrives.

Thanks Marcus, I remember I had one once but dumped it.
