Got the rear wheels on, just a test as I am waiting on some parts.




Working on a improved cable shortening kit over the rubbish Empi stuff. Clutch cable will be done too but needs a piece made first. These things grip so hard they will never slip. Stainless and once finished should look much tidier.

Picked up this bug tech shifter second hand off Facebook. Absolutely brilliant, solid shifting and engineering beauty.



Hel performance brake lines to match the front.


Hard brake lines and handbrake cables in, just need to finish up the cable shortening buckles.


Revolution J10's for the rear. Spent a long time cleaning over spray off the tyre sidewalls. They will be refurbished before the project is complete.

Modified bump stops from a mini. Much neater than cutting them





Handbrake cable adjusters finished. All stainless

Very, very neat and exact. Love the handbrake adjusters. Got much the same on my clutch cable, which was made by one of the guys on here. Very effective 👍

Appreciate that thank you.

I'll be sorting the clutch too. That needs a bit of work, who uses 7mm now days. I was thinking of modifying the  wing nut or I'll make a new stud to fit.

Think it was Chris Baker on here who was making them. Give him a pm or do a search  :-\
Certainly work well.
