  1. I do know they are fussy as f. Hence why something from a Hiace or similar maybe used. Still researching though.

     

    Relocating the whole assembly in to the inside might be do able? The original linkage pushes forward but if i could somehow spin it around i may be able to mount the booster reversed or at 90 degrees.

  2. One reason to keep the boosted brakes is that it'll be a daily and my partner will need boosted as she's week as f .I was going to attempt to find something stock from another Vehicle and either rebuild or copy it. Since I'm young and own vws, I'm not liked among the cert guys in Hamilton lol. But will draw something up and at least get it looked at first. Will be researching "remote ones" which I have never seen so To google I go. Cheers boys

  3. Looking into possible brake servo relocation as mine has a great big ugly linkage system in the bay.

    And want to make this. 

    Mounted under my dash.

    overall20assy-1.jpgQuestion is though, the legality of having the booster,master cylinder and lines starting inside the car?

     

    I want to keep boosted brakes and want to keep somewhat OEM parts (m/c booster etc) mainly for maintenance.

     

    Shoot the idea down or shove me in the right direction.

     

    I can make all the linkages at work so no stress on fab work.

     

    Chhhhhhheeeeeeerrrrssss

  4. Used the missus's potato to take some photos of the progress. Finally got her to help with something.

     

    Clean the seals, woman!

    Armour-all the seals ,woman!

     

    Got some fiddly crap done today,

     

    Wing mirrors on, Front door seals, window  scrapers, rear boot thingy re trimmed, seat belts fitted,rear side panels cleaned and installed.

     

    But mainly sorting through 3 cars worth of 30 year old stuff took up most of my day.

     

    Again sorry for the potato photography, its not my strong point.

  7. 2nd day we had it, we filled it with some fresh oil,since it was bone dry.

     

    new fuel and vroom.

     

    Will be giving it a new filter and oil as Im unsure what its condition is.

     

    So far only thing for a warrant is front right outer cv boot is fooked.

     

    Emptied the red car out and found some goooooodieeeees.

     

    Sadly the red gti is far gone, much like the green one so both will be heading to the scrap after I rape them of their parts.
