This has had the bulkheads moved back about 3 inches. The tunnel area is still a pretty tight fit but there's a bit of space in front of the
engine, dont know how useable the space will turn out to be though. I haven't offered up any of the bodywork yet to see how much room there is,
but obviously you'll lose a bit of space in the nosecone where the shocks are now.

Which master cylinder are you using on the new spec-r?
Have you had any fouling problems with it?
Cheers

I did have a problem with the one off my sierra donor, it has a mounting lug coming off the underside which fouls on the lower chassis rail. I had a
look at a couple being built up at MK a couple of weeks ago, they had a different sierra m/c to the one I had that fits OK, although there is a fairly
tight bend on the front brake line as soon as it leaves the union to clear the chassis rail. I'm using a mk2 golf master cylinder now, I had one
kicking about in the garage so I offered it up and it fits much better, the outlets are all pointing upwards and there's 4 of them if you buy a
new one. The only thing I do need to do to it is chop down the nose the pedal pushrod fits into, it's a bit on the long side.

Do you know which one MK are using? Is it a willwood or something else?
Also have you got anymore build pics?

It was a sierra one they use, just not the same one as mine came with. I think i've seen three different master cylinders on sierras so far, two
of them look like they'll go on fine, just not mine  Never mind, got a shiny new one now and it was cheaper than a recon sierra job.
Build pics here, I think i've got some more recent ones to get around to
uploading. Despite working with cameras for a living my pictures are pap though
