The setup on the brake servos is almost identical to Wooler Hodec #12171 
suggesting the factory guys were copying one of the prototypes. 
Certainly the pedal box exhibits the inherant flaw in all the 
right-handers I've seen - swapping the brake and clutch master cylinder 
is perfectly possible - it just needs a bit of lateral thinking. The 
twin servo setup is there only because they seemed to want to retain the 
twin-output master cylinder. Had they changed it for a single-output and 
remote servo it'd have been a lot simpler. Simpler still is retaining 
the stock setup altogether and just swap the brake and clutch m/c's. The 
right hand side is an exact mirror of the left so excepting the spare 
wheel well, there is precisely the same amount of room.

Anyway, must go. Hard day's work tomorrow!
