Terry - Maybe try SSC (Simply Sports Cars).

Not sure what the laws are in Au and in the 50 states, but it is more common of a mod for cars that do not have to conform to road laws.

re: Racing pedals and masters

Pilbeam makes a set for Elise.

I use Tilton floor mount.

If you take power booster out, then the pedal ratio (i.e. pedals) and M/C size should change....

Also, are you keeping stock calipers.

thanks guys, i've read the link provided but it has not really answered my most basic question "can i directly bolt on a Series 1 unboosted master cyl to my S2 car and get rid of the booster and ABS module"

at this stage, i have an open mind on how to finally deal with a brake change. I just saw this broken booster as an opportunity to make an improvement at the MC end, rather than just putting back the factory booster.

It will never be re-registered for road use, so i'm free to do what i want.

i have ready access to a wide range of brembo or sumitomo 4 piston front calipers and may just move the AP/Lotus 2 piston calipers to the back, subject to doing some calcs on braking forces. It seems that this is a common mod, but a few folk have commented that they get poor pedal feel due to increased hydraulic volume.

if i change to non-boosted i would make a bore change to the cylinder(s).

I hope some racers can add further comment
