hi, i am new to the forum and new to minis! this is my first project car and im having trouble with the brake set up. im wanting to remove the servo as its too large and in the way so going for an easier & cleaner looking set up.

i have bought a 1994 rover mini as a doner car to swap parts onto my 1977 shell.

how do you set up without the servo? do i need to get a new master cylinder to do this or will the original one do? does the pedal box need changed? and what brake lines are needed? single or front rear?

thanks for any help in advance!

Your 1977 car wont have a servo standard so no insurance issues down grading the brakes, do you not have a master cylinder and brake setup on your 77 car ? you can fit a tandum master cylinder if not with Front/rear split system,  so no need to swap over the later cars servo system.

no their is no brake set up as it was bought as a bare shell to be restored. so the master cylinder from the later car will need replaced? ill order a tandum master cylinder and a front/rear break pipe set. thanks
