Yep,engineer said I could fit one to mine as long as it passed the brake test.So make sure m/cyl sizing is correct.
I was looking at the hanging ones from Wilwood but I'm not sure which ones the brake place will be using just that the bracket for the m/cyl under dash will be unbolted/taken off,Brackets welded under dash for pedals to hang off with reservoirs in engine bay next to wiper motor.
I was going to use two remote boosters & keep hydraulic clutch set up but it takes up too much space & is rather messy.

Should be able to do it Steve as long as the engineer signs off on it
Check with Reno first though
Since I left the brake place he won't let me write the letters anymore so you'll need to get it checked out

Would these be legal to use if you fit pedal rubbers & a brake switch?
How do you work out the pedal ratios & m/cyl sizes?

You pick a starting size and guess a ratio based on what will fit
If you have enough room for 7:1 you use that
Or if thats too long go 6.25:1 or less
Then once you work out your master cylinder size based on the calipers requirements for fluid and the distance you want the pedal to travel
Some like a long pedal with plenty of travel (more progressive)
Some like a firm high pedal with less travel
