On some versions, you'll be lucky enough to get a small 1/4" drive ratchet in there with a 10mm socket.

Upgrading the master cylinder will be more than enough. Personally I haven't really noticed any difference in pedal lightness between the small and the larger servos.
I think having that massive linkage bar going to the master cylinder on the passenger side ruins the brake feel for me,adjusted it a million times got better but i can never get it quite how i want it to be,reason I will go to a pedal box.

I used to have a left hand drive VTS with the master cylinder on the other side and dont remember it being it this bad and that was was witht everything standard,now i have 266mm discs with DS300 pads,23.8 master cylinder,braided lines and rear discs conversion with bias valve and feels worse than that,it's not the stopping power just how the brake pedal feels and its travel,this was ages ago though,so maybe thats just how i remember it lol.

Yes RHD setups the whole bulkhead flexes. don't look at it when you press the brakes

Lefties are direct onto the master, they feel great in comparison.

Mine feels shit, but stops me over and over, that's all I'm worried about. It's just a case of learning the shitness
