If you fancy straying away from a VW powerplant in the engine room, Davy has a few good Ford engines in his yard, a rebuilt Cossy YB, a BDT from an RS1700T and my old 24v Cossy lump out of that daft Sierra :wink:

I got the tank and the running gear done by a local guy in Darlington. He just has a small unit but does a really good job. You have to be carefull doing tanks tho as the shot blasting can punch holes in it if it's rusty.

The master cylinders for the pedal box finally turned up today. They are very compact so hopefully they won't foul the dash.
I want to put a pedal box in my caddy. Something i have always wondered is how they perform compared to the stand servo setup. Do you have to use more force/effort on the pedal. I always though a servo was to assist the driver to make braking easier.
Please shed some light on this for me.
Thanks

I have not got mine fitted up yet so carn't be 100%. I imagine it will be harder but not as much as most people think. There is alot of setting up to do. Firstly you use different size master cylinders front and back so more pressure goes to the front. Then you have to set the balance bar up so the front master cylinder has more travel in it than the rear. Its probably best if you check wilwoods website out, they have a good technical section witch has drawings of all this.
Cool. I'll have a look. Thanks chap

I will know if they are right when I start driving it. I will see if the rear locks up before the front and tries to overtake me .
This is a set up that was reccomended to me by the bloke who made the pedal box. They should be fine as the pedal box has a bias bar so you can adjust the amount of braking force between the front and rear.
