I have the 56 Exec up on blocks, BTV almost out and ready for the next step. That's where I face my first challenge with this repair. I don't know which option to choose?

1. Craig's beautiful booster/mc w/remote fill reservoir. The only drawback being the pedal arrangement. I have to admit that it is a bit odd looking to those that happen to notice. But with just a few holes and only two brackets to make, it is the easiest option to get a safe and effective system.

2. YDRadio's clean modern booster/mc mounted higher on the firewall with the pedal being mounted in a more conventional manner. I would loose the vent on the drivers side. I need the dimensions of the fabricated parts (mounting plates, standoffs, spacers, etc.) and more complete installation instructions. Do they exist for this install?

I just need some encouragement as to which option to choose. Thanks for all of your help.
