Found on the CAT forum from a few years ago:<br>
<br>
<b>Brake Pedal Ratios</b><br>
<br>
The OEM Tiger/Alpine brake/clutch pedals have a mechanical ratio of
approximately 4.4:1. I've been making kits for quite a while that
modifies this ratio to 6:1, which is pretty much the standard
aftermarket ratio. This gives you an advantage of about 1.36 over
the OEM Pedal. This is almost as much as the vacuum booster gives
you. <br>
<br>
I also make this kit for several master cylinders from the OEM
Girling to "new" Dual Masters from 13/16 to 1" diameter. Using a
13/16 diameter also increases your hydraulic ratio. The kits are
complete, but you must send me a Tiger brake pedal (Alpines have a
different bend) and the Pivot assembly. I can bend an Alpine pedal
to near Tiger specs, but not "perfect". The process is reversible
with the exception of the Pivot which I modify. I typically make
several a year for Dale's customers. <br>
<br>
I have also run my 6:1 kit with a booster and autocross pads, but be
sure your seatbelt is fastened.<br>

from a post a few weeks ago, Tom now recommends the Tilton slave

Steering linkage in progress for the Mike H FE conversion. I
have disc brakes on all corners (new floating Ford 8.8 in the
rear) and planning to go with a 15/16 dual Controller (master)
cylinder. <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255,

put in a servant hydraulic throughout bearing, any
recommendations? lots of initial reading points to the

style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica,

straightforward. Might have to do some fabrication to get the
new controller hydraulics mounted higher for actuation
alignment. Has anyone else done this? Any learnings to
share? </span></div>
