The Kugel Komponents Hanging Pedal Assembly, Booster, and Master Cylinders are what I used. Jeff at Kugel helped select the unit, and I received a Thru Firewall Mount Universal Brake/Clutch System, # 278S (Clutch & Power Brake Pedal Assembly With Dual M/C & Clutch M/C With 8" Double Diaphram - 14" Pedal) However exchanged the pedals for the ones from the 278L, which are 3" longer (17"). The mounting placed the clutch pedal almost exactly in line with the stock through the floor pedal, while the brake will be just immediately to the inside of the steering column.
Thanks to Paul (NY) I now have great brakes. I replaced the 1-1/8" Bore Master Cylinder that came with the Kugel unit with a larger 1-5/16" Bore unit (BENDIX 11584 NAPA 39017). I also replaced the Clutch Master Cylinder with a larger 1" Bore unit as well. I additionally added a proportioning valve to the rear wheels to prevent them from locking up too early.
