V1 Dragon Motorsports 2.0 [Extended\Open-Frame\Easy Entry Door Bars] - [2007 LSJ SS Donor] - [Frame #392]

[Jareth]

Got thru three videos today

Pedal Box was interfering so opened up the cut out a little.

[Jareth]

FIRST: Was there once a video showing how to relocate the Master Cylinder Reservoir?

SECOND: What is the best way to remove the Reservoir, it seems to be just held in place by some pins? Are they pressed fit?

Sadly It seems now that DFK is pursuing their VW Project, they won’t be adding any of the new build videos that they say are coming soon

.

 

[neodied]

Yes, the pins are just friction fit. I tapped them out with a matching sized punch and small hammer. Didn’t take much force.

 

[Jareth]

Thanks, Yes, I was able to sacrifice some old hex keys and use them to punch out the pins.

[Jareth]

Like any puzzle that you may face just lay out all the pieces in front of you, examine where you think something should mount and everything should fall into place.

[Jareth]

Brake proportioning valve is installed, here is how I routed the lines.

Were the lines came in contact with Booster I sliced some small diameter rubber hose to prevent them from rubbing.

WHAT THE “F” (yes those are all cap)

Just spent a hour trying to find where I put my BMC & TPMS, no where to be found.

Guess that’s what happens when parts sit around for a year.

Buy new ones, then you'll find them! Works every time!

That worked for me with my ambient light sensor and my ambient temp sensor LOL

 

[Jareth]

Is TPMS unit tied to the key in any way?

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Don't think so. It's just a radio frequency receiver from the 4 TPMS transmitters - and sends the info to the BCM.

 

[Jareth]

I guess since there is no connector in the harness this one is left empty?

That is correct.

So I found a BCM on eBay for $56 and should be here by Oct 2nd, let’s now see how long it takes to find my misplaced one.

Which box did you find these brake parts in?

 

[Jareth]

The box was a brown one with DFKITCAR tape on it, in the spare bedroom.

All joking aside I don’t remember which box number; this is the second Goblin I’ve built so I just went thru the boxes until I found what I was looking for.

I show the complete inventory of everything I got in the following video on YouTube.

.

 

[Jareth]

BCM just arrived, if nothing else it looks brand new, unlike the one I misplace.

Thank You eBay.com

 

[Robinjo]

That does look super clean.

 

[Jareth]

I think I sort of know where my BCM is? In the same box as my fuel filler neck and gas cap that I now can’t find

Just don’t understand it, I have several of those black containers with the yellow lids that you get at HomeDepot that I store everything in as I take the parts off the donor. Where is that box?

.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

I have 7 of them and have to look thru each one to find the part I'm looking for - and it's always the last one.
