Kevin, why the thought on the integral style this time, what's the advantage over the remote version?

There's no reason as far as I can see having what is in effect is the same m/cylinder but with a screw in adaptor with a length of hose connected to a remote fluid pot x2 The integral does away with all that and is much neater.

Ease of access for filling?

Maybe a bit easier remote but the busa is quite open at the front, no bulkhead.

....... warning light and test facility such as the handbrake switch. I always wondered why the two were connected together.

Yes you can get the fluid level switches to suit the girling type integral m/cylinders.
The ZX12 and busa both have multi spring clutches so no worries about too much lever action, they just go coil bound. The early R1 is one to watch though rtr did add an adjustable pedal stop.

I know the only problem I had in my formula Libre was that I had to block the breather on the top of the Integral type as the constant hard cornering made the fluid leak out, and brake fluid as we all know is awesome (not) when it gets near paint! Possibly using the remote style might make it easier to stop this problem....?

Yes it would, the remote setup on my tR1ke never leaked. I don't see why the top should leak though, ill give them a go and report back.

I used to use wrist sweat bands around the top of the reservoir to try and catch the leaking fluid.

So, Westgarage have been really great to deal with, Stuart has asked heaps of questions about my requirements and I'm feeling positive about getting the right parts from them.

Has anybody purchased these seats with their kits from SVE / RTR? If you have, can you give me an idea of how you mounted them?

They look a bit flash compared to the usual RTR seats that most buy from RTR.
Were there not mounts and runners in your kit?

Hmm, not quite everything in the kit unfortunately, but it is a kit car so I will have to figure some things out for myself.

With regard to the seat brackets, have a look at my build blog, I fitted the same seats I think. I bent some brackets out of 6mm steel, powder coated the brackets and bolted them to the CBS sliders.
