Nice work Scotty! Have you thought about making the cover over the pedal box hinged or zeus clipped on so you can remove it quickly to access the master cylinder? yes i have,as the rules state the ecu must be accessable from outside the car, but under a quick release cover should suffice. cheers |

well its been awhile (nearly 6 months)since updated.and to be honest not much has happened in my shed,well not that anyone can see  ive moved the radiator over the diff and mounted an overflow tank from a subaru.  batt box moved up and back  brake bias (fr to r)  brake bias adjuster in and working.thanks to chris 13w again ;)for his tip on the the flexi hose.  peugot 205 steering ram installed  ln65 calipers all round,mountings made for front hubs  i splashed out and brought new brake line ;Dso ive redone all my brakes,just awaiting front flexi hoses and the thing should stop on a dime or a 20cent piece.  new 5th and 6th coil mount,plus i made the 6th coil overhead hung.   i went away from the cable shifter idea and made this,  2;1 steering quickner in.  new jbar and mount  jeees it dosnt seem like ive done much but be assured evrything usually takes atleast 2 goes to get it right, and even then im quite likey to change my mind,atleast once or twice again.lol. im aiming to be out on the track 11/12 season but as the cost of every thing except my wages goes up i might be pushing s&*t up hill  just incase you were wondering total cost excluding labour and tools, to date about $2600,so hopfully on track for 3k(fingers crossed) peace out scotty |
