Brake / Clutch master cylinder repositioning

The Blitz 2 brake master cylinder sits high up in front of the driver obstructing the view and is supported on a drop tube that also supports the steering column. IMG_0336.JPG
So I wanted to modify this set up similar to what the "Freestyle" buggies used on their modified set up however the Blitz 2 only has a flimsy 0.5mm fire wall up front and therefore not able to mount the "Freestyle" set up. So I come up with a modified design using the "Freestyle" principles but adapting the standard mini brake/clutch master cylinder bracket.strong support struts welded to the main frame are used to take the loading from the cantilever struts that are welded to the cut down master cylinder bracket. IMG_0015.JPGThe bracket where bolted in place ready for the pedals to be set and the piston lugs welded onto the top of the pedals. The pedal return spring needed a new tension support so fabricated a small stool and welded it to inside.IMG_0024.JPG

The yellow tag brake master cylinder complete with the Fiat fluid reservoir is a real good fit. Again this modification is taken from the "Freestyle" buggy mods made and tested in the early days by the pioneers. (Can't believe how well that works and fits, how did they find that match of different parts ?)
