Very nice! Have run similar set up in formula ford and a sports racer. I think such a set up will cost us points, but may be worth it!!!

Hey Craig71188,
Thanks for the compliment! I use to race shifter karts and formula Fords in my youth. That was the brake feel I wanted to achieve in my Fiero. Perfect for threshold braking.
Good luck with yours.
Cheers
John

Johns 4.9 I too (still) have shifter karts.
I was looking over the Wilwood site last night. Could you share which pedal assembly you chose (ratio) along with which master cylinders and calipers? It sounds like you were looking for a similar feel that I would want (besides the space/weight savings). No sense just starting from scratch if someone has a package that works.
Thank you!

Craig71188,
I used the small bore master cylinders and small bore four piston calipers.I used the equal length brake and clutch pedals. This model,
Wilwood 340-11295 Brake Clutch Pedals Aluminum Black Forward Mount Universal, looks the most similar to mine.
Cheers

Johns 4.9 did you use the caliper bracket template from "the ultimate brake upgrade" or did you make your own. On a side note you can not drive that thing on the street so you need to sell it to me.
Marry Christmas and a happy new year
