they fit with a little room to spare very sharp brakes i have the mad pearl box fitted which give great adjustment front to rear and means the hydraulic handbrake works great as the front and the rear run on different cylinders

Sounds good. I've got a kad pedal box but not sure weather to fit it or not. If it makes a big difference then I suppose I'll fit it lol.

Keep progress pics coming mate :)

how is that brake fitted? im seriously considering getting one and was wondering, someone said to me once about one way valves but surely that would just lock the rear brakes permanently? is it just a bias adjuster? Cheers

hi it replaces the brake master cylinder with two master cylinder one for the front and one for the rear with a bias adjuster so you can put more or less to the rear it allows the hydraulic handbrake to work with our affecting the front. it is very ay to  fit just bolts on mad make cylinder the size to match your brakes .

looking fantastic!

 

How does the power steering gubbins affect pedal access? It looks a bit tight under there
