I'm jealous, I'm only able to "squeeze" 315's under my front fenders, 295's are much more affordable! Good Luck!
Thanks Miles. The R6's run bigger than the NT-01's in 315's so I had to stretch the rear out a bit more. The 295's ran a bit bigger than the 275 RA-1's so I gave it the old school stretch treatment up front also.
In my case running manual brakes throws out two possibilities of failing parts. One being the booster and the other being the vacuum pump I had to use do to the size of my cam. I recommend going manual. I cant even tell the difference between the two.

I too have joined the manual brake group.

Just because it finally got a race car master cylinder doesn't mean it qualifies.
