    Well I can easily unbolt the M/C and swap in a new one... don't have to refabricate anything to do that.... other wise to add a booster... yeah I have to start over. I guess I'll just try it for now... see what happens.

    Where is a good source for stainless steel lines? I don't want a kit of prebent, just the lines and fittings; I can flare them myself. I just got done doing all the air lines in 3/8" stainless and would like to do the brakes the same way.

    Another option is related to your picture of the under floor setup. Instead of mounting the booster/mc right aft of the pedal with the typical 3-4" rod, mount the booster/mc further back with an extended rod, thus freeing up room around the trans. Here's a pic without a booster, but should give you a visual.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
