Hi guys,
I have tinkered with Minis for a few years, but i'm new to the whole kit car business, picked up my freestyle shell a couple of weeks ago, so appologies if i'm covering old ground.
As it is a new one, i have the new style over-head mounted pedal assembly instead of the pedal box in the passenger footwell. Whilst digging through my pile of old Mini bits I found the brake and clutch master cylinders and offered them into place, at which point I realised they would be on their side and therefore (i'm guessing) useless in that position.
I have the old build manual which doesn't cover this bit, can I still use the Mini cylinders or will I need different ones? If I can use the old ones, what do i need to do to get them pointing in the right direction?
I have noticed some of you guys mentioning cyliners from Sierras and Escorts, is this the way forward?
Sorry for the long post,
Rich Davies
