Nordschleife Master
Would be great if you guys could also post what kind of brake setups you are running, be it manual, dual master (and what sizes your using), pedal box, hydroboost (BMW, Ford) or electric booster. Also your impressions of pedal feel on the street and track.
I am going to try the Ford hydroboost setup with my car, i have some concerns about pedal feel though. Knowing me ill probably end up changing my mind a few times and end up installing a very expensive Tilton pedal box due to how **** i am

.I found this interesting setup on a race car for sale on Ebay, the brake servos look like remote brake servos found on early Minis (1 servo per brake circuit).
I also found some information at the below link.

I have dual master cylinder using a 5/8F and .70R through a tilton balance bar set 55% to the front, early solid pedal drilled just under an inch higher for the pivot point on stock '87 turbo brakes. I daily drive my car and the pedal feel is good. It doesn't take much pressure at all to stop in normal situations. The braking is very progressive when you need to stop quicker.

I studied the pictures in that auction as well. It's an interesting setup that I pursued for a bit in my build. Here's another link to how they work:

But I've found my Tilton pedal box w/ dual masters to work well.

well,
bidding was very aggressive on this engine in the final hour.
and with about 12 seconds left, i submitted a bid of $4,200..... and then, nothing....
finally the pop up came up and i clicked "Confirm".
be damned if there wasn't but 1 second left on the clock at this moment....
