Excellent work  your really getting stuck in now

[stuey]

Thanks gadge I'm just keeping the momentum- a few spare hours to so I finished cleaning and reassembling the master cylinder from this-

To this-

Tomorrow I'll get started on the pedal assembly which I removed and stripped down today-

[sunriser81]

Stuey that is great job! Is the epoxy primed?

[stuey]

I wash tank, it degrease it, use a rust killing fluid then etch prime the top coat in black then laquer.

Hi Lucas sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by this I will be using the standard one?

[sunriser81]

I mean when you pressed brake pedal with 126 master cylinder, is the brakes works from middle when is pressed or just top of pedal? Just asking as going to fit to mine and not sure use 126 master cylinder or seicento one.

[stuey]

I'm assuming you Mean the pipe outlets? They are split - the middle 2 are for the front brakes and the front one goes to the rear to create a dual circuit system so in answer both of them!

Here's today's progress pedal box done with refurbed master cylinder. I'm using stainless nylock bolts throughout and I've started that here-

[Gadge]

No I think he means the pedal action itself stu - does the pedal work at the top or because it has disc brakes does it work closer to the bottom as it has to fill a bigger caliper over the smaller wheel cylinders.

Sunrises I have front discs using punto mk2 calipers on mine and the pedal does travel longer before it works but when it does work it stops the car far faster than the standard drums did

[stuey]

Ah right I see jesus I'm thick sometimes!

any how slow day at work so I re-purposed an old pump part we had laying around into a gearshifter-

(needs a little sand and polish on the end where I cut it down but its going to look cool when done)

[sunriser81]

Gadge Yes i am after action:)
What Do You think about seicento master cylinder?

[Gadge]

Well like I say I don't think it will be necessary to change as the normal setup works fine with front disc brakes. Also the seicento master cylinder has 2 outlets for the rear so you will need to make another line to one of the back brakes.

moving slowly this week as I've been busy with other stuff but heres the little I've managed to do-
new horns painted and reunited with the mounting brackets with stainless bolts-

new pedal rubbers-

and all mounted back on the car

so now its time for the brake pipes to be made-


fronts first-

then the rears


more soon!

[stuey]

Not much this week as I've been back at work but these came-

And I got a set of these-

Which dimple metal lke this-

So opinions on this guys and girls if you wouldn't mind but I'm thinking-

I might even mount my fog light in behind the holes.

[stuey]

Finally got my powder coating back today so I can get the car back on its wheels and start the painting of the shell happy days!
