    Can some one please post lots of pictures of this kit installed on a right hand drive 3B please. I'm struggling to see where I can mount all the connectors and parts that have to move in order to fit the kit? Also I seem to have a spare brake line that I don't know where it goes????

      I've just done one for a friend. Can't upload pics as tapatalk isn't working. Have you got a reverse IM? If not, I don't think it can be done (easily). The spare brake line ran from your bomb. You just remove all that. Blank the hydro pipe at the T that went to the bomb. You need to 're route the fuel lines and cut off the fuel line bracket plus the one that the wires from oxygen sensor clip into. It's a good time to replace fuel lines if they have not been done.

              I'd like to undertake this upgrade on my 3B with reverse inlet. I've just had a look at the car and I can see there's a brake distribution block attached to the end of the hydro MC. Where does this go when you use a tandem brake booster?

                Steve,

                I haven't worked this out yet, Got the vacuum servo in position but haven't worked out the brake lines yet.

                  You can either move or remove the valve and replace it with an adjustable line pressure regulator. If you have changed the front and/or rear brakes you have already made the factory valve irrelevant anyway, so worth using an adjustable unit and setting your brake bias up correctly

                    Any recommendations for a bias valve or install pictures anyone?
                    How would you go about setting it up correctly?

                      There should be some info out there on this as quite a few owners have converted to the vacuum setup and loads have folk have upgraded their brakes.

                        This is the one I recently fitted which can be adjusted up to 60% of pressure. https://www.s2forum.com/forum/techni...ge#post2080405
