Ok the brake master cylinder brace that a few of you guys have been waiting for
I had noticed when working on the manual swap that the brake fluid reservoir moved around an alarming amount when I stood on the brake pedal. It seems from the 'brake block' thread that I wasn't the only one, but there's nothing on the market for this any more so I decided to make my own.

Started off with a cad model in Fusion 360:
Printed it in the aubergine filament
Installed:
I took a video of this one installed and it didn't actually do much because the whole assembly is mostly rotating around the top bulkhead where the pedal box is mounted rather than pushing forwards. This brace stopped it moving forwards, but didn't prevent the master cylinder lifting up. So, a few modifications to the model resulted in this:
Printed one in some cheap red PLA
Tolerances weren't good on this so I tweaked the dimensions slightly and printed in some better material
This one works pretty well as you can see
