Hi Guys
Well the kids have finished their race season so now i can
actually get some work done on the car.

I've been buying stuff and storing it till i've had a chance to do
something on the car, it's been very frustrating. (the things you
do for youre kids)

I spent a weekend making all the brake lines, a very tedious job


Image


Image


Image


Image

I got a new master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders, some minifin
brake drums and some nice braided brake lines

Image


Image


Image


Image

And a shot of the rear put together

Cheers Hallsey

With all the new bits in there it looks awesome! Will look great once it's all together and shiney. How much did the new duel master cylinde set you back if you don't mind me asking?

GBP55 for a dual brake M/C? Mine was GBP83 (excl VAT) and I thought that was a bargain. I've seen single master cylinders for GBP55 but not dual.

Looks the dukz gutz Hallsey.

I remember doing all my brake and clutch lines too, something I think I will leave to the professionals next time around.

Cheers,
Tricky

Is it a brand spanker or a re-conditioned one? Just that the tank looks pretty damn new to me??

Yeah, Minisport.

I just checked, it was 136 pounds all up including shipping. Not sure what the exchange was then but around $250 I think. Was going to try this crew http://www.ukclassicparts.com
but the day I ordered they took down the listing. One other site was out of stock and I thought crap the stocks are all running out so I bought from minisport, then they emailed to say they were out of stock!

The other place would have been cheaper shipping but even with emails to and for about about out of stock and asking how I wanted it shipped, Minisport still got it to me in a week so no complaints from me.

Very nice.
The looks of the KAD gear make it worth it.
