I just asked him there martin & he has a set from M Sport that cost nearly 3k but they dont suit hence why he is using these! i will post a pic of the other ones on monday...The price of the handbrake cylinder would nearly buy 3 of they pedal boxes but its whats best for the job...not the price

This car has only been getting built for a month or so just think what he could build in a year like it takes some ppl...

This car will be at knockhill in just over a weeks time for the start of the scottish saloons....

Ok, now I understand. One problem with the cheaper cylinders is that they are only available in a couple of bore sizes which does not leave much scope for getting the pedal travel / feel spot on. AP make a full range which are direct replacement for the one's he has fitted, they are available with remote reservoirs too. I can get him some if needed

Wow! Absolutely awesome work - everything on this car must be pretty much one off... It takes me months to sort out one thing that has to be made one off but this guy has built a complete one off car to what looks like a fantastic standard in that time!

He must be very very quick at thinking and planning out these things!

Did you spend much time measuring and planning before starting this project?

Plan? He does not know the meaning of that word - his moto is GTI - Get Tore In!

He simply makes it up as he goes along..

A webcam is about to go live, although he is camera shy! details soon!
