Hi
Something like this maybe?

they also do just the pedle box, but the complete kit looks pretty good value to me. As for master cylinder size, there used to be an article on how to work it out on the GT40 website, not sure if it is still there but worth a Google :D .

Phone Rally design and get their input

They have the cheapest but good quality master cylinders and are great to deal with

I'm curious as to what kit car as your chassis supplier should be able to sell you the correct set-up or at least advise you. The suggestions above are all common in the kit car world but I would advise asking your manufacturer first. Most kits do not have a servo but there is an after-market version available.

I assume it is not yet registered, therefore the IVA test will need to be passed. You can download the manual as it will have to pass on all counts. Is there not an owners club you can ask?
