What specific details do you need. I have the pedal assemblies
drawn in AutoCAD if that would do what you want. I can tell you that the
cylinder mounting bolts are the same size and spacing, in fact this is
pretty much a standard in sports car/race car design. Don't forget to
calculate the total brake ratio (mechanical + hydraulic) when you begin
switching components.
