Finally got the master cylinder. Was supposed to get 2, but as usual there was an order mix up. But I was able to install it and I JUST have enough clearance between the MC and the bracket.



These are the rotors I'm planning on using. Just over 12" in diameter and .83" thick.



Here is the new MC at home.

Really nice looking... One question though

Is it going to be legal with the M/Cs there? I believe its a safety matter thats why im asking. In Europe this would make the car illegal, since the driver can hurt himself ( that would be by impact on the knee area during an accident) on some part of the vehicle ie extruding parts from the under dash

Interestingly enough, the safety was the very first question I worried about when I had the idea of the reverse mount. I'm not exactly thrilled with the location. I'm going to be putting a cover over the whole thing that has foam in it but quite honestly, if I'm hitting something hard enough that I'm getting near that with my knees, I've probably got some other problems as well. Bugs aren't exactly safety icons, and I'm not planning on changing that too much, but I'm hoping that the fact that I'll be able to out-brake and out-handle any other bug on the road will put me up a notch in the safety department compared to a stock bug.
