Intermission

he Safety Devices roll cage is back in and loosely bolted in place after a lot of effing and blinding and trapping of fingers between pieces of steel tubing and bodywork. It’s a good tight fit which of course is the way it’s supposed to be. Just waiting for some bits to come in the post and then the interior will be complete for now.

I have managed to source a full set of Earls braided brake lines with a Wilwood bias valve and a set of matching fuel lines at a good price. The plan is to run these through the interior replacing the standard kit. I’m thinking that I will need to replace the brake lines to the rear calipers when the rear subframe is taken off for the bushing upgrade. The brakes will all need to be disconnected and with these never having been touched I don’t expect them to come apart easily.

It will also be a chance to remove the rear brake compensator setup that is on the subframe, with the being replaced by an adjustable bias valve in the car. Few other bits and pieces, like finishing the painting of the strut tops and scuttle ends to keep me busy in the mean time!

Scuttle and strut top painting finished. The filter over the fan/blower is actually green when it’s clean! Just need to reassemble the front end and give the whole car a wash. It’s very dusty!
