I have a 1995 pedal assembly for sale. Its from a car I converted to a 6 speed. The 1995 has a vacuum booster and traditional master cylinder like the early cars but with a separate and standalone abs system. If you're interested in buying it PM me. It's a direct bolt in for any earlier car

Here is the picture on the Booster assembly and MC. It came from a 1995 6.0 V12 coupe that I converted to a 6 speed. Would be a great update for an earlier car. It has a 1 inch bore, the earlier cars have a 15/16 bore so this would move a bit more fluid. Combined with the modern vacuum booster there would be better pedal feel and less effort. I have a 1996 late celebration XJS with this setup and the brake feel and effort are much improved over both the earlier vacuum non abs setup. I also have a 1994 convertible with the accumulator setup...feel and effort are awful by comparison to this setup.

Hi Icsamerica

Thanks for posting those Pics but I've got one (almost got one!) from a 1987 XJS V12 but I can't get the last of the 4 nuts undone and so I'm in the process of trying to saw it through with a hacksaw blade, which is proving a bit of a Nightmare

It also looks like the Pedal on yours might be offset to one side for a LHD Car?

Thanks Again for the Pics

Alex
