just fitted new brake booster brace from z1 in the usa the flex in the brake booster was a lot this has made the pedal a lot firmer now very good mod well worth doing

A mod ive been meaning to do for years :biggrin: surely we must be able to get something like that made here in the UK

the uk is a joke for parts and always payed over the odds for stuff

Pretty sure japspeed sell them.

I tryed a few people in the uk no joy

We must have a few members on here who are handy with lumps of metal :yes:

I want one but surely I could make one myself. However if someone on here was knocking them up I'd pay for one...

its deffo a must the change in the pedal is night and day

I got my one from ebay was half the price of the zcentre one.

the z centre don't stock them anymore

the z centre don't stock them anymore

 

Probably because nobody would pay £50 for them..

It stops the flex in the brake cylinder, if you get someone to press the brake hard while you watch the cylinder you will see why:thumbup1:

 

Alanz iirc can make stuff like this, but he is a busy man :biggrin:

 

Any engineer or metal worker here should show themselves now :punk:

I already have one :p.

 

really does help braking don't you think

It does give a much firmer feel to the pedal, which transfers all the pedal to the bmc and not flexing the firewall as well.

well worth doing that flex it harsh with out

It is indeed. I was surprised when I saw just how much the flex was without one fitted. Can't be good for the firewall either I'd have thought.

i have a nice ally slab sitting here...ile steal some measurements next time your over Danny boy and fire the old milling machine up and knock one out:yes:

couldn't live with that flex when you get ye mate to press the brake and you look in the engine bay you see just how much it moves shocking
