Coolant pipe modification = thumbs up!

Whered you get the piping itself? Did you custom bend it?

Made some more progress. Finished mounting the rear calipers and the master cylinder reservoir. That's when I realized how dusty the car is

I did not like the hose clamp holding the master cylinder together so I made a bracket up. I just have to modify the bolt it will look much cleaner.

Brakes are bled, had one leak at the r. front caliper. Easy fix! I will probably bleed them once more the pedal still feels a little soft. I was able to check all the gears after getting the clutch bleed also. Reverse was the only gear I could not get it into. Another easy fix with a cable adjustment.

I am almost done with the switch panel. It needs a little more wet sanding then a final polish. I had to throw the switches in to see what it looked like. Next to wire up the resistors for the info and return buttons.

I love the little bracket you made. When I zoomed in on it I noticed you used some ptfe tape on your threads. I would watch for leaks because brake fluid will break it down. I used permatex seal n lock and it's designed for hydraulic fittings and I used it on the master cylinder and intercooler with no leaks yet.

At the point of installing them. The beer won I was tired of looking for the permatex.

I did some more sanding and polishing. I'm okay with it now. Thanks again Chad.

It's hard not to take it out a bit prematurely.

Congrats!!!

Parking brakes are done other than maybe an adjustment down the road.

I ran the cables under the engine. I attached them with a P clamp ate rear of the sub frame. I need one more larger clamp to mount to the bottom of the engine where you can see the uncut zip tie.

Here is the handle assembly all finished up.

Very "OEM" looking! Great job! Nice touch with the USB port too.
