The only cost efficient space saver I can think of is switching over to hydroboost. That doesn't really address what you're trying to do though.
:rofl:
I don't know why but that is halarious :lol:

Am I missing the punchline?

your not the only one....Ritter, you have to explain that one to us... :mrgreen:
 
trying to get everything off the firewall, so just mounting the master to the wall without a booster is last resort, trying to see if this would work and i have done tons of research, just cant find what im looking for...

when i inquired about this, the brake guy i was talking about said it wouldnt work and i dont care about ac this car doesnt have it anyway (for now)

want to keep the stock dash, guy didnt think this would work, but couldnt tell me which would, he kept trying to sell me a frame mounted set up for tons of money and that didnt look like it would work at all...

another person told me to get a corvette master cylinder, which would require a plate for the wall and take the booster off, which would at least suck it up closer to the wall...
 
I would have to say the only other alternative i know of is hydro boost. But if your tryin to clean up the engine compartment the extra lines probly not what your looking for. Probly gonna have to mount the booster behind the fire wall like said before. I wouldnt go to a manaul booster no sence down grading brakes stopping is important

You definitely have your work cut out if that's the goal. You may want to look into different types of hydraulic actuators or even aircraft parts. There's quite a few different types used for flight controls, pitch varying controls, engine trim, etc. The reason I suggest those are because you're dealing with tight confines that would be more ideal for hydraulic force rather than mechanical leverage. In a nutshell, you're asking the brake pedal to accomplish a lot more within a shorter distance.

Anything is possible....if you have deep enough pockets. IMO, the cost of trying this may not be worth it. I'm not trying to discourage your idea, but there's always the cost vs benefit issue.

not discouraging at all, I usually accomplish what I set out to do and my goals are realistic, if i can attain it, i will... if not, i wont and ill keep it moving forward... its going to be simpler than that... prob just going to adapt a reverse 90
 
Keep us posted either way. Sounds like it will make for an interesting project if you get it figured out.
