Anyone have an unused Timm Cooper Series Brake kit laying around they'd like to unload?

They seem to have been out of new kits for a while now. Not wanting to take sales away from them, if you can not find one of Timm's kits you can try Heystee Automotive. The kit that Paul Heystee developed also uses stock Defender calipers and rotors.

TeriAnn, I know you used Torrell industries' kit and I appreciate your excellent review of the build on your site. I think I read that you'd consider going with Heystee's product today, so with Timm Cooper's system seemingly off the table that may well be the way I go. Any suggestions for changing the master cylinder/brake pedal mechanism?

You evidently missed my draft page on this subject:

That's OK . I mainly wrote all those 200 or so pages just to have something to do and keep myself entertained. I have a poor memory so it helps me remember how to do something next time it needs doing.
Bottom line is I recommend a SIII brake pedestal, Santana brake booster, and early One Ten master brake cylinder for a front disc brake dual brake system conversion.
If you are adventurous you can go to a pre 1990 Defender pedestal and type 50 servo.
If you are really adventurous, have a deluxe bonnet and don't mind cutting clearance slots to the very edge you can go with a pre 1990 type 80 servo and pedestal or a US spec non-ABS Defender pedestal & servo. You just need to be sure that you match the servo with the pedestal.
A lot depends upon how much brake you want for the pedal effort, how much work you are willing to do and how adventurous you are at cutting body panels.-
