RHD and LHD cars have brake lines that attach to opposite sides of the master cylinder. Custom lines would be in order, as long as the bolt pattern on the brake booster is the same.

yeah...i was looking at that. the way the bar is designed, it looks like I can install by just switching it the opposite way, i think.

The next question is it a different master cylinder, or a metal strap the is supposed to stop the stock master cylinder from moving?

it's a metal strap that is supposed to stop the stock master cylinder from moving.

It would depend how it's supposed to attach, What mods would need to be done.

I haven't noticed the firewal flexing on any S2K's while bleeding the brakes, unlike DC2 Integra's and EG Civics which is what the Cusco strap is supposed to prevent on those models.

I'd question it's effectiveness at actually doing anything. Other than being Cusco blue, and making the wallet lighter.

again you are right!

I was just looking at it and this may seem more than just re-routing the lines. it's definitely a complex procedure. I'm having 2nd thoughts about proceeding any further before my wallet actually disappears!
