ON my old yota i put it on the floor and thru the firewall. The actual cylinder is almost next to the frame rail. I MIGHT have some pics
Or you can just spend the money and get a Wilwood setup and not have to make anything except for a bracket to hold it.
Mines under the dash and it works great. Just depends on how you build it.
i just raised mine up. it goes into the "fresh air vent" area & i had to make a little box for it & it barely clears my wiper arms in there, but it works & looks pretty good. i'll take some pics later & post them for you either tonight or tomorrow if you remind me.
good luck...
mines under the dash too. seems to work good. i used seth's to help build mine. thanks seth your a bad ass. ps im going to need to buy some drop motor mounts from you.
thanx for the replies guys , im interested in pics of yours coreys
sorry the pics aren't too good, & please excuse the welds...i was in a very uncomfortable position & i've since ground them down, rewelded them & seam sealered it, but this will give you a general idea.good luck...
p.s. it also helps that i have my own sheetmetal brake, but the pieces are small enough that if you used a large vice, you could do the same. just use lots of beer boxes for templates, a unibit, & a 1.5" hole saw & you'll have it made...also heat up the line a little when using your tubing bender because i cracked one trying to bend it not knowing it would be that brittle (it's 20 years old).
good luck...

This is my setup. The resovoir is connected to a remote mounted on the firewall so I won't have the mess of filling it up on the inside.
And the reason it looks like its been chopped up is becasue it has been. I moved my booster over 3.5in and moved the clutch pedal set up 1" forward so it fit the firewall better. I sectioned the shaft on the brake to move the pedal bake to its original location. It felt like they were way to close together and it didn't feel natural.
thanx for the pics corey and zombie ill let you know how mine come out !
