Hi all, found this forum after scouting for some more info on the Viva which my kit car is based on. (I'm trying to figure out what master cylinder I have fitted, and whether I'm going to need to change it as I believe the Viva it was from was servo assisted and so the brake pedal is quite firm with little feel. It looks similar to the following: Ebay number 250419921607 http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/9/4/2/ ... 0803_o.jpg) Except the master cylinder on my car has horizontal mounting holes.
Thanks for any help, anywho, 'spose I better post up some info of my car.
It was built in 1985 currently with about 6k

Very... different looking... I didn't like it too much when I first bought it, but she's definitely grown on me and I love her now
