OK, here are some pics of the installation: No 1 shows the remote booster mounted to the RH inner wing just below the jack and fwd of the radiator. This is the smaller of the two sizes commonly used, typically used one for each of the twin circuits on cars like RHD 105 series alfas with the...

You can change to a dual circuit master cylinder and add a remote booster in the front circuit. It makes a big difference with drums. When brake pad and lining material went to the non-asbestos replacement material a few years ago it had a huge effect on pedal pressure required for the same...

Can you still get the extra-thick heater matrix they did for Scandinavia? They also did wipers for the lights at one point. And plastic doohickeys to shield the exposed door hinges.

Malcolm, I was reading the tech tips section and saw the part about modding your headlights to fit sidelights. I did this a while back and have a couple of suggestions to make things easier. When I did mine I intended to use a hole saw rather than work up via a series of increasing drill sizes...
