Folks some advice please to avoid a lot of trial and error and turning my floor into swiss cheese!

Are there any rules of thumb for positoning floor mounted pedal boxes, I thought for a long time I'd put the box in the most comfortable and efficient position for me, however I'm just re-visiting that area to do some other fettling and starting to question my previous positioning.

Regards
Iain

On a side note can anyone recommend a pedal box that will fit a Tasmin.
Also currently have a servo, but I guess with a pedal box this is not needed, how harder does this make breaking, or does having 2 master cylinders help this.

Anyone know the rules about the reservoirs can they be in the car or do they have to be in the engine bay.
