BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted July 8, 2011 very cool! that's a tight squeeze. do you think you'll have contact with the master cylinder when hitting the throttle, forward/reverse? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Schenker 14 Report post Posted July 8, 2011 Please tell us more..... Electric brakes? Who makes them? How much ? Any mods required to the brake pedal ? I had few choices if I wanted power brakes, no room on the firewall for a vacuum booster that wouldn't interfere with the clutch master. Hydroboost was a possibility but required a significant amount of machine work on the housing to fit. This was an expensive option(1100.00 :ohmy:), but a very clean install. ABS Power Brakes out of CA makes the unit. Mounts right up to my firewall mounting holes and they made an offset master that would clear my valve covers. No mods to the brake pedal at all.

The engine in the pics is not in it's final position ( trans is not installed) this moves the engine over a bit and will not touch the master, however it will be tight could be some contact with engine movement. I did not have many options, even the specially machined and prepped hydroboost unit came within a 1/4 inch of the valve covers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have some BIG ol brakes available, 14.5 in. rotors:ohmy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Schenker 14 Report post Posted July 10, 2011 you're doing a good job. it's fatiquing to watch all the mods! Tell me about it!! It's been a challenge. I'm sure there are a few things ahead that I don't even know about (like hood clearance issues). I'll keep on it! :thumbup1: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Schenker 14 Report post Posted October 2, 2011 Got my wheels! also started on the EFI wiring. I'm using The Detail Zone's product and am pleased thus far with the quality and instructions. I also mounted the battery in the trunk ( used an Odyssey 925 with bracket). The wiring is somewhat tedious. I'm taking my time and trying to make the install as clean as possible.
