can i ask why you are going down the marina pedal box route?

if it is just for the hydraulic clutch there are cheaper and easier ways of doing it..

and to answer your question.. you need a marina pedal box on which you need to bend all the pedals.

you need a mounting bracket from ESM and that will give you all the details on fitting that..

you will need a clutch master not sure what you need as it will need to match the sierra clutch slave cylinder..

for the brakes..

the master and servo units are difficult to obtain but can be replaced by tr6 units but are not cheap..

a servo is really not very good with drums all round apparently.

so unless you have discs upfront i would not bother with a servo.. which leaves you with a big hole to fill and a problem with how to work your brakes..

depending on the brake master used you may well find that the bar across the bonnet hits it so you will need to modify the bar.

a lot of work if all you really need is a clutch servo..

A servo can be fantastic with drums all round! It can really transform the car to give pedal feel much more similar to a modern car.

However the limitation is the drums themselves, and if you use them too much they overheat. The bigger the drum, the bigger the heat capacity, and disks are more efficient thermally.
