25,4 MC Installed

[Todd Phenneger]

Alexander,
  Does the 80q use vacuum or hydraulic assist.  I know for the
5ktq/200q cars upgrading the MC is a cinch.  But the vacuum
assist cars (4kq) use studs on the vacuum canister rather than
bolts so the needed spacer is to long and you cant do it. 
(Unless you can get inside the vacuum assist module and put in
new studs which I havent tried yet).  Anyhow, I'm curious how
that will work.  
  Thanks
     Todd
