are you using the subframe spacers?

no matter what you do you will have to move the coils. that being said, i cant say ive seen that setup you have used in a v8 swap. any setup ive seen uses a tilton or wilwood bracket that stack the masters vertically. here is what my setup look like

most people dont angle the bracket towards the strut tower, but i wanted the extra room. if you look around here you will find some other setups people have built.

Sharkey,

Is your setup custom-made, or can i buy it somewhere? Part numbers, etc?

(( i wonder if i am trying to install the Kokeln bracket in the wrong direction??? ))

Edit: yes i have the 1/2 spacers installed. i almost forgot them, lol, but caught it at last minute

Thanks!!!

my setup is custom made using a wilwood universal dual master cylinder bracket.

the kokeln dual master cylinder setup was never built with a v8 swap in mind. you are trying to install it correctly.

this one?

do you think something like this might work, too?
https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Wilwood-Forward-Swing-Dual-Master-Cylinder-Brake-Pedal,1960.html

i'd like to do as little Fab work as possible, since i'll have to outsource to a local custom shop. i currently can't mill, lathe or weld. someday... someday...

thanks again for your help!!!

yea the first one is what i used.

it was pretty simple for me to make. started with a 3/16" thick steel plate to bolt to the firewall. i then used some 1" square tubing to build a piece to weld to it and support the master cylinder bracket. add a gusset, built a pushrod using a heim joint and some steel tubing, nothing too hard.

one member here did make a small batch years ago of a mount that was very similar, and there was one for sale in the classifieds not too long ago. maybe have a look and see if its still there.

Is it close if you rotate the Kokeln unit 90 degrees from the orientation in your first pic?

Yeah, a tough part of the build. I did a custom mount of a Tilton pedal box on the floor. Work, and pedal effort is high, but leaves a nice clean engine bay.
