RHD 105/Alfetta Brake Conversion

[njh1964]

Hi All,

I've read Phil Storr's article about converting a LHD Spider to RHD using the hanging pedals, pedal box, firewall transfer rod, the passenger side firewall bracket and the booster & master cylinder from a RHD Alfetta. See attached photo of the Spider conversion borrowed from Phil's site.

It seems to me that the key benefits of this conversion would be: (i) hanging rather than standing pedals... a personal preference, (ii) a single, more compact booster, and, (iii) a more readily available/repairable dual circuit brake master cylinder.

The conversion may not be original, but it's agruably neater and should be more reliable that the stock under floor brake/clutch master cylinder setup found on RHD 105/115 cars... not to mention more cost effective than rebuilding/replacing the old 105/115 brake system components (eg master cylinder and Bonaldi boosters).

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone else has done this conversion in a RHD 105/115, and, if so, I'd like to get some ideas/photos/sketches of the modifications required to the brake and clutch pedals to adapt them to their new life in the driver's side footwell of a RHD 105.

Regards,


Nick
