I saw that artical and did wonder how a remote servo works. Servo is a total must for a road car.

Tony's brakes are out of this world on track, there isn't even 1mm of play in them. You have to press hard on them, would be a pain in traffic.

see the round tabs on the side
you make brackets coming of the bulkhead pointing towards rear of car and then use these tabs to mount up to it
so bolt goes throu top of bracket down throu tabs
probably not explained that very well
