Hydraulic install in FG swb

[jpblue1000]

Guys,
Hope this is the right place to ask...but how does this install look in terms of location and orientation of the master cylinder and servo horn.

May be a bit hard to bleed but is solidly mounted. is ther issues with sideways mounting?

also new speedline style wheels to show off calipers


How do master cylinders mounting cope with the reverse throw of the servo, is the arm set halfway through throw at rest?

anyone have seen or got another method. I have another pair yet to install for the rears any advice greatly appreciated.

you're going to have to make some mounts up and with swb fg's room is scarce. laying the master cylinder on it's side is not going to work either.
you use a spring on the back stroke same as on a regular brake rod.

i don't think thats going to work out so well. you will always have some air at the top of the master cylinder resevior, and that air is going to end up sitting in the piston with it on its side.

here is a shot of my car's brakes. its not a short wheel base, however this may work for you

it would require a different radio tray and doing something else with the receiver box, but thats an option
