Default mk 1 capri brake booster relocation

has anyone successfully relocated their brake booster out of the engine bay?i would like to tidy up the appearance of the engine bay and give more clearance for the rocker cover on the 351windsor.

Not too sure how the Capri booster looks mate, but I had the booster in teh RS replaced with an item from a Laser. MUCH smaller than the original item and it has tidied up the engine bay nicely.

I have seen under dash systems available from www.rrs-online.com certainly one way of tidying up the engine bay. I'm considering using one in my capri but they do cost a fair bit.

Most Jap vans Hiace, Express, Econovan etc use an under dash master cylinder booster setup.

One of those might be worth a look at.
