I'm using this one; says that it's suitable for four wheel disc brakes:

I heavily modified the assembly of course...

I ended up using a master clinder and bolted it to the fire wall . had a picture of a pedel assembly that was made on the forum and tried to copy it not quit done but it looks like it will work . also have to install clutch pedal , there is not a lot of work between the tunnel and the out side of the body . if I ever do another it will be automatic for sure .

Glad you were able to come up with a brake system. I think the clutch will be a tough install, but once you get er, it will be nice.
