RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

Hi guys in wanting to get rid of my brake booster leg on me rs and have spoken to a few people that say mount it on the firewall and use a Datsun 120y booster is this correct or should I use something else any help would be great

They might be getting a bit pricey now, but in the past I have used a VH44 as a remote booster and it works well. Perth brake parts have them recon on the self, so there are some still about.

remote boosters are crap
not worth the hassle
very inefective
show me an escort or any other car that still runs this system nowadays ??
i know twin cams had them when ??? 1970 ???
just set up a decent pedal box

I have installed the 120Y m/c on the firewall. You can get them on eBay here -

You want the 17.46mm one.

As the m/c mounts are north and south and the escort is east & west you'll need a mounting plate to mount it on the firewall like this one I had a friend make up.

The you just need to cut the push rod to suit the shorter position and you are away.

The pedal feel is much improved and the increase in pedal pressure hasn't really gone up that much too.

Here's a link to some more info. http://www.classic-ford.org/cfp/tm.aspx?m=39302&mpage=2

Here's a few more pics.

Thanks Matt That's what I'm after... How does it go for roadworthy ect is a engineers cert needed?

Yep, anything to do with brakes needs engineers report / certificate.

In hindsight it probably would have been better to just fit a pedal box.

Cheers,

Matt

Hi Steve
I have got a brand new one (still in the box) sitting here right in front of me that i bought a while ago but never got around to fitting if you're interested.
I also have an adaptor plate that I got made to suit (different design to Matt's).
PM/text me if you're interested.
Cheers

Thanks guys.. Matt did you get someone to cut down you push rod or just touched it up yourself?

Yeah, I am using a pushrod from a MKI as they are a bit thinnner and just cut it to length with the angle grinder.

Cheers
