30th January - Throttle pedal/turbo pipework

THROTTLE
Pedal now in and using Stu 'Twizzles's' old Disco throttle cable with a slightly modded defender pedal. Cable had to be spaced off the bulkhead with nylon spacers and required a clamping bracket to keep the whole lot secure as per Terri Anne Wakeman's mod at Exhibition LR.



TURBO PIPEWORK
The final section of silicone tube arrived so this, along with a section of 1mm thick wall stainless tube, went on to finish that side of things.

Drained around 1 litre of overfilled engine oil out then I fired it up again. Not that loud with no silencing.....until you hit the throttle ;)




BRAKES
Had a bit of an epiphany yesterday and found that if I route the braided front pipe in the alternative position on the chassis bracket it will reach the piston with some spare. Ideally I wanted to use the brackets that were kindly donated to the cause but this works.

Shuttle valve also bolted down to the offside chassis leg under the bulkhead so all that is left now is pipework and bleeding!

You can just about see them in the vid.
