The spacer block is part # B187. Here it is installed. I rerouted one of the lines after this photo was taken.



It also came with 2 allen bolts, part # F365. They offer a kit that has a ram as well, but I just made one from a long carriage bolt with the head cut off and the end ground smooth. I don't recall the overall length, but 4" is plenty.




The MC that ipd sells will not fit, as far as I know. The dual curcuit they sell from the 140 has horizontal bolt holes, but no provision to limit backwards movement of the ram. This is accomplished in the 140 by the brake booster. There are places that do sell the dual circuit MC that has vertical holes, such as the partsbin.com, but it costs in the area of $225 and up.

I did not do the dual diagnal plumbing, but rather one circuit to the front and one to the rear. I've not driven it yet but I heard from many sources that no adverse rear brake behavior (i.e. premature lockup) should be expected.
