I think some are better than others but none will clear. Lowering the booster bracket is one way to get around it

Hi mk1escort,
A bit late, I know but I looked at having a custom manifold made up to convert my Kent into EFI, but it was going to be too costly as a result. One part of this process was changing the brake system over to a hydraulic one and doing away with the booster altogether. I wanted this option anyway to make the engine bay look a bit less crowded, but instead just went with the GT manifold and single 32/36 DGAV.
Anyway, the reason I mention this is because I was looking at a bunch of stuff on Burton Power and was looking trough the
Kent Motor Fitment Parts List
which had a bunch of stuff that may suit your needs. I'm not sure what the clearance is but something like
this
might fit... They have a bunch of other stuff there that might be of interest.
It's normally quite expensive to get parts sent over, but I think most members here will arrange to share postage costs, so if you do end up getting something give a shout out to your fellow car enthusiasts.
