@guru posted some inspiration for his 140 build here
These pix, taken from the web some time ago, are the inspiration for my 142. Unfortunately I can't find the original source of these pictures.
As can be seen, this is a LHD car, so the OP doesn't have to worry about a steering box on the RH side of the engine bay, nor a brake extension bar next to the firewall, which sits above and behind the engine (and from guru's account, gets in the way of the engine).
I' want to relocate he brake booster and master cylinder to the RH side of the car, but not in the same way as this was accomplished in the early 140s, i.e. with a long extension tube from the firewall to the booster - no, instead, I'd prefer to mount the brake booster bracket to the firewall, or as close to it as possible.
Now... I realise that's not going to happen with ordinary Volvo-sized 8 or 9-inch diameter booster.... so, would anyone out there who regularly sees the under-bonnet areas of a far wider variety of gadgets than me, have any recommendations for the source of an alternative booster that might fit?
