Default Bias pedal boxes

Im due to order a bias pedal box tomorrow with 3 maser cylinders...
front brake rear brake and clutch.

Ive never ventured in to the hydraulic world of cylinders..
can you advise please on options....

they are listed as .7 .75 .625 - which is best for my application..
top swing pedal box for FWD fiesta.

Also listed as 5 to 1 , 6 to 1 , or 7 to 1.

Im woosing out of the floor mounted option im not wanting to extend the steering column and move seat mounts further back..

only reason for needing this is due to the hydrulic clutch now and the 6 speed box sits where the master cylinder /servo lived.

they do a nice underslung model however so i shall ring around tomorrow

Tilton , wilwood, OBp - Ap they all do either a floor mounted or an underslung one which bolts to firewall.

Im going for the later one on mine... due to time restraints and ease.
engine is coming home this weekend

Martin is that a standard box in which you have modified or built from scratch.

I see your reasoning over function/fashion, you cant see it anyhow so function is all thats needed.

It is not a modified standard pedal box, same one in Porkies. You could just convert the original pedal box like I did for the rover...
