Here is what I have come up with so far. I first thought about building my own ôhydra-vacö system by moving the existing M/C with booster to the passenger side. I would have to cut out the "A/C hump" in the firewall, plate it, mount the brake unit inside the cab leaving the "pedal rod" sticking out into the engine compartment. Then fabricate a mount for a clutch slave cyl to operate the brake booster. Then adapt a second clutch master cyl to mount in place where I removed the brake booster from to act as a brake M/C. Result: Foot operates pedal > operates new clutch M/C > operates slave > operates booster > operates old M/C > operating brakes, all this to give me the clearance to install 2.5 x 8 King 2 tube bypass shocks on a modified front IFS.
Think it will work? I thought it pretty ingenious myself but a WHOLE lot of work.
I then called CNC and checked price on a dual M/C set up. OUCH
Now I was hoping someone out there had a cheaper way of doing it.
Beat to fit, Paint to match Need a bigger hammer and more paint.
