My latest project, I made a billet lid for my brake master cylinder.
Custom accelerator linkage

I made some new bellcranks for my accelerator linkage to go with the aluminium rods I’d already made for it. They’re both machined from aluminium with a steel shaft and a bronze bush. It’s much smoother than even a cable set up.
The through firewall bellcrank, polished ready to fit.
And here it is fitted.
And here’s the other bellcrank fitted.
And lastly a pic of the the whole set up.
One area of the car that’s been lacking was the boot, so over the last couple of weeks I’ve started trimming it.
Took the car for it’s first decent cruise today, went over the mountains to Lithgow, stopped for a pizza at Little Hartley on the way back (One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had!) It was a really good day

I finally got it all together and registered, time to put some miles on it.
Got my bumpers back from the chromers, the outside is pretty much finished. Just got to assemble the interior and do a few odds and ends and it’s ready for rego.
