Looks great Paul!
Quick question, I'm mating mine to the rx7/r31 caliper setup..
What size master cylinders would you recommend? (or anyone else if they have an idea?)

Cheers

Hi Evan
I'm going 0.625 F & R.

I was originally going to go with a 0.7 or 0.75 on the rear.. any reason for the 0.625?

Hi Evan
I just want to be sure that I have the feel in the pedal as in my calculations the 0.700 on the front will be too big in relation to the RX7 callipers (36mm bores). This will lead to a heavy dead pedal.
With this combination front / rear the correct bias is about right using the same size MC front and rear no matter waht size you choose. However the bigger the MC the heavier the pedal for a given required braking effort.
Make sense?

Here are a few of progress images of the Mk1 hydraulic pedal box.
It is based loosely on the same principle as the Twin cam item although I have had to substantially re-model the assembly to accomodate the bias bar and stock accelerator linkage (rather than the Grp 4).
Basically the top of the box is cut to allow the addition of my sections which will retain the OEM mounting points. I will also use the OEM Mk1 pedals unlike others currently available.

Some more from today showing the offset bias bar to allow the use of the OEM pedals.
Some others use a modified Fiesta brake pedal to accomplish the same thing but I feel my solution is both more asthetically pleasing and simpler- plus we don't get the Fiesta pedals here .
More to come once I weld up the pedal and finish modifying the side cut-outs on the pedal box frame for the bias bar assembly.
