    Thats an interesting idea! Whats to stop me from recessing the booster into the passenger glove box (rhd) and having the cylinder poke out the hole?

        My dad has an e28 with hydraulic assist brakes. They feel AWESOME. If you can make that setup work that's definitely the way to go.

            Don't see any problem with that, other than the linkage for the pedals, but you fit that V8 in there, so you won't find much trouble in fabbing the pedal gear...

            Also you will have to fab a drilled metal bracket to bolt the booster from behind with the original bolt pattern and then around it to the firewall, and don't forget to devise a way to route the vacuum hose through the firewall to the booster ;)
