I heard a lot of moaning here about getting a good pedal on a 7 build so I went for top hung pedals using Sierra bits with the master cylinder above
the top rail of the chassis. from there I ran all brake pipes downward to calipers and the back axle. I am pleaqsed to report that this set up blead
through by gravity in 5 mins and took about 2 strokes of the pedal at each bleed nipple to get a rock solid pedal, that's the fastest and
easiest brake bleeding exercise I have ever done! So get gravity on your side and you will be OK.

Do you really need the servo?

No, you will lose all feeling in the brakes
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I've got a servo and it's mounted lower than the front calipers, although only just lower.
You won't loose any feel.

Just want to suport what Jag is saying about servos . I have one on my car and it works fine and as I have a some what shorter peddle with less
leverage than the original , still the effort required and the feel are both good.

life is not the rehearsal , it's the show so don't sit there thinking about it DO IT NOW

Speaking personally a servo is the last thing i would want it robs the pedal of all feel and introduces unwanted pedal travel and spongeyness, but
drivers of modern cars are so used to grossly over servoed brakes that they would find the brakes on most Seven replicas take a lot of getting used
to.
Seven type car although very light because of space restrictions is a bit short on pedal leverage ratio so the pedal riquires a good bit more effort
pedal than the average tin-top.
