Have seen a motorcycle front master Cylinder used as a foot brake. Works quite well.

Use an electric scooter as a donor. Cheap as with battery's faffed. Weld a sprocket to the rear wheel of the scooter wheel then mount it like a jack shaft. Will give you brakes as well.

Got a mate who works on old flash stuff. Will do cashies.top notch stuff. Maseraties and things...

remove the main jet for methanol. seen it work on bears bikes... more methanol means cooler running means higher compression means more power.

Keen. Cortina is still going.
