settling into the slow side of the build now, didnt have much time this weekend with loading up & setting up for tractor pulling

a brake line flaring tool we made a while back
gona be important for this bit of the build


how are we gona work the hydro handbrake

first things first, the clutch master cylinder we're using (0.625) had a reservoir on top & is designed for drip feeding for adjusting clutch position. the cylinder had to be opened & the feed bored out to take the flow of brake fluid through it for in-line use, and we also had to thread it to take a bolt that we would bore & make a brake line fitment out of

machining the bolt we are using as a reducer. A blind 10mm hole had to be bored & tapped, followed by a through bore of 3mm. This was to make a seat for the flared brake line.


made up a mounting bracket for the master cyl on the milling machine

then a mounting bracket to go onto the car

and decided where I was going putting it

then an adjustable leaver system



never got it finished, need to weld on guide rails for the leaver & bend the leaver to a nice position for the driver.
