I don't have the measurements in front of me but I moved the clevis up 1/2". That was as far as it could go and still get full stroke on the MC given the pedal/floor room. Add to that the fact that the s2000 weighs 33% more than the Minx (2800 v 2100), and I expect the pedal feel to be somewhere between power and manual brakes. Should be fine, but I can always make improvements if needed (that's my standard answer if you haven't noticed ).

that's cool FF. something for me to try later on. i was thinking now that my corolla swap is done, i can get back on my nova. i scored a set of disc brake spindles with rotors. just needs calipers and i was hoping to use the dodge power wagon disc master i got. no room for a booster in my nova as well. are you planning to use a combo valve on the minx?

Proportioning valve? I'm going to use the S2000 prop-valve since I will have all the other brake components from the car.
