Vortz airbox in left hand car

[almondgreen]

Is anyone here, who has fitted a Vortz air box for twin HS4s in a Mini with the steering on the left side ?

I tried to fit mine, but it touches the master brake cylinder.

Maybe I can get some infos to solve this problem.

If not, I will have to sell the box.

In some Europeans LHD countries, most of MKII minis were fitted with a "special" brake master cylinder :





They were 5/8 bore and flat, instead of the round one. It can probably help you.

It was intended to be fitted on early Jags MKII -- > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Original ... 0689369048

I've got one for spare, will try to take some better pics.. No idea for wich car they were intended.

me and andreas had a conversation about this yesterday, I couldn't remember what they came from either

[alexdenevers]

Rich, I've edit my post, they were fitted on Jags MKI and early MKII..

[alexdenevers]

And they're a bit expensive indeed..

and they are a clutch master not a brake!

but yea, they aint cheap

[alexdenevers]

Yes, clutch.. But they were working well on minis as a brake unit.

I maybe able to help with the master cylinder, think I have two or three nos

You might get away with just rotating the reservoir on the cylinder. They are only soldered on so its easy enough to heat them up and rotate them.

fitted one of these cylinders to allow a rampipe onto the carb when the shorrock blower is mounted, seems like they have all sorts of applications

Thanks for the answers, but the box is built that there is no space for a cylinder on the left side anyway.
The only way for my would be to fit a later (88on) type of brake servo.
But this is not the way I want to go.

why not using some parts of the late linkage to activate std master fitted on right hand side?
