Re: [DML] RHD pedal box?

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not all Wooler-Hodec Right-handers have two servos, in fact only the 
autos and one manual had them. The brake servo cannot go in the original 
location when put on the right - they were put on the end of a 
connecting rod just behind the radiator. Check out

The twin servo type had the brake master mounted directly to the pedal 
linkage (which is bespoke too) and the reason for twin servos is that 
when used as a remote system, you have a single point of failure, so 
there's one for the front and one for the rear - part of UK regulations, 
I believe.All the brake lines were specifically made to fit the chassis 
with the underbody off.
