It was now time to think on starting the brakes and the first thing to
do was to install the pedal box and master brake cylinder (MC). I
took a little time to clean the cylinder up and on offering up to the chassis
with the pedals noticed that I had a Mk 2 rather than the Mk 1 variant
of MC; this meant the hole in the chassis/pedal box would not line up
with
|
|
the MC. After a little though I decided that I would slightly bend
in the pedal box side and drill new holes next the the pre-drill hole and
mount the box/MC that way. After some serious drilling, all bolted
together easily with the brake push rod in place. Finished the job
off by also drilling and bolting top of box onto top chassis
bracket. Results as below:

The 1st pipe run was to the back of the chassis. I took it from the
MC, along the top chassis rail to the gearbox mounting plate, down the
chassis rail to the bottom, along the bottom of the chassis to the
back.

| Pipe down center of tunnel. I use plastic pipe
split down the middle and tie-wrapped on the brake pipe on any areas
that may rub with chassis. To get a better grip of the pipe by the P
clips, also used a small length of duct tape round pipe. |
|
Decided pipe run a little short to brake regulator so routed diagonally up
back of seat back panel. From regulator simple case of small length
of pipe to T piece then from here to flexible pipes.

For the front pipes I ran both vertically down the front of the drivers
front panel. The one to the offside (left) just ran straight down
chassis diagonal panel to point where it will fix to side panel. The
nearside (right) pipe followed this route, to the very front chassis cross
member then round to point where it will too join the side panel.
This run was used as it was correct for length of the supplied pipe.

Once the brake pipes had been completed I then
ran the fuel pipe down the passenger side of the tunnel. |
