Fatboy I have never fitted VT or VQ if you use the VB VH double diaphragm only one cut on the original VB VH mount to correct the angle and presto it all fits  8) to the pedal with out any other mods and the original clutch master cylinder still fits if you are using it .....FC427......

Hey Fatboy,

When I put the VT booster on the car I have also used the brake pedal and accelerator from the VT. If you are going to do this then the booster mounts straight to the firewall and the pedals mount from the bolts on the booster quite easily.

The booster will also need to be supported to stop fire wall flex. There is provision for a bolt at the front of the booster.

Hope this helps mate,

Cheers
Jason.
