    Default Hidden brake booster/master cylinder in vs

    Ok so...
    Has anyone heard of/seen/done hiding the brake booster and master cylinder in a vr/vs?I'm currently embarking on the task of cleaning up my engine bay so all is seen is the engine...

    I want that 'get f&@ked' factor when the bonnets opened lol

    behind the dash? In the boot? Any ideas on the topic would be greatly appreciated as I'm stumped... And it's my first project car lol

    ah... ok... good luck.

    My only suggestion would be floor mounted pedal box that does away with with the booster all together...

    As I said, good luck!

    I was thnking that myself but the thing is disc brakes need the vacuum booster to generate the clamping force needed.. Unlike drums which are 'self energizing'

    And I forgot to mention:
    it needs to be 100% street legal in nsw... Just to throw the proverbial spanner in the works
