Many 60's and early 70's cars had remote servo's, MGB, Cortina, Classic, Consul Capri, Hilmans etc...

Heres a selection.

Really messy solution with dual circuit brakes as you either need a double ended servo or two separate servos.

Better just to use a more suitable master cylinder ie one with a smaller bore designed to work without a servo.

other option (but totally ott and excessive for a locost type vehicle) is an electrically boosted setup, rob from an old Jag XJ6





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning
