Default Servo sizes.....

Long story short...

I've only got a small amount of room in the latest project car to fit a brake servo.

Ideally I want to use a servo as opposed to a pedal box type assembly where the unassisted brakes feel terrible.

Just trying to get ideas on the smallest servo/master cylinder setup I could use.

I'm thinking along the lines of a KA?

The space I have is directly behind the pedals in the engine bay. 6" from the bulkhead is the exhaust manifold so it can't be any deeper than that.

Help here would be immense!

remote servo it?

but that might mean a pedal box anyway

it also depends on how much brakes you are going to be using, the favorite seems to be the mondeo mk3 stuff as it's fairly thin and compact yet has bit internals for fitting massive stoppers
