Phil Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi PhilI've not seen limitations, I am running fuel lines internally in braided PTFE and put a non return on the breather pipe.Hope I'm not missing something, I will have to check the MSA book again.P.S I saw your old car the other week at Harewood, look well and was going well.If you don't have unto use the original tank I've pm'd you the few thoughts on the race fuel cell. Driiftie's offer maybe something to consider.Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickL Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Time for update on progress.Put a few things in the engine bay and started fitting the brake lines, I was going to use ABS deletion kit I got from TD and now decided to make my own using AN3 braided pipe and fittings. I did end up useing one of the pipes from the ABS deletion kit because I couldn't find AN fitting to come of the 2nd connection on brake master cylinder.I came of the 2nd fitting and routed through the bulk to a bias valve I fitted next to my hand brake and then on to a tee to feed the rear brakes.

MickL Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 I have routed the brake line for the rear brakes through rear seat belt bolt hole in rear wheel arch. I had to grind down some of the bolt to allow the bulkhead fitting fit right.I made a bracket for the pipe to pass through to keep away from the wheel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollieh17 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) are you running braided line brake line from master cylinder all the way to calipers? I recently had to make up brake lines for my car and after research went with hard pipe over braided. Braided still has some degree of expansion, someone worked out it could cause as much as 2cm extra travel on the pedal. Might not sound a lot but would make it feel some what more spongy. Not sure if you use the car on the road either but im sure the use of those fittings is iffy come MOT Edited July 4, 2017 by Ollieh17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideally for the best brake pedal you should use as much hard line as possible, only using flexi hose on the joints where it needs movements due to suspension travel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickL Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Brakes are now done, so we were able carry out test on the bulkhead mode we did to and stop master brake cylinder moving. I can report no visible movement even with mate who is 6.2 pressing sudden hard stabs at the pedal.Also fitted is a sera master cylinder making pedal feel great.Just a note on Sera master cylinder, I had to adjust the rod in servo to make it shorter reach for pushing cylinder piston.
