    I like what you did with the Master Cylinder. The larger bore helps with pedal pressure and feel.

    Are you running a custom brake line front or rear?

    Original brake lines, only thing I added was one short section of steel line to the line lock and everything is uncut and oem.

    To mount the Stealth's brake booster I had to drill two holes in the firewall for the lower studs. Used the Stealth's aluminum spacer between the booster and firewall and the brake pedal line up perfectly.

    I did a similar thing to install the BMC out of a Gen 3 (think it was a Gen 3...) Pajero. The 2 top brake booster studs lined up with the steering column/brake booster brace holes. I cheated a little by using the Gen 3 brake booster spacer and used the bottom through holes as a drill guide and went through the firewall with a new 8mm HSS drill bit (I dummied the spacer in place with 2 x 8mm bolts and flange nuts so the spacer was held exactly where I needed it) Had to do some sketchy free hand bending of the existing solid brake lines, but it appears to have worked fine.
