    Good to hear!

    Well, I guess I'll be pricing this out. It will be a nice little project for the winter, assuming the car sees the road before its too late in the year (damn transmission).

    I guess this is more common than I thought. I just know using the brakes through a booster system without the engine on is not fun. It sounds like this is barely noticeable.

    How is the pedal feel and effort?

    can't give you details on mine as its not rolling yet lol..

    My friend has the same brake pads, master, rotors, and lines on his and its titties awesome feedback in the pedal but not to much that its over whellming.


    There is a guy on the NMRA forums in the for sale section that sells the adaptor plates for 20 bucks. then you can use a 86 SVO manual brake master (aluminumone & it comes with the rod) all thou you have to bend the rod to work its only 26 bucks..


    I think where most of you have your problems with all of this, is the fact that you really don't fully understand the internal workings and dynamics of the common combustion engine. There is no magic tune up, and motors are stupid. The only time a motor will complain is when something is wrong.

    This would be going on a 99 Cobra. According to all of the sites, the kit is different between the foxes and my car

    he makes them for the newer body styles I think (don't quote me lol)
    might have to use a different master though.

    I ran manual brakes (fronts were disk) on my 68 big block chevelle and had no trouble stopping from 130 in the 1/4 mile.
