We had cut off all the excess material of the right rear motormount
and Aad had welded on enough material to form a new edge. The
pockets were first smoothed and then texturized using a pneumatic
tool with steel pins that is normally used to quickly remove several
layers of paint from steel boats.
The brake side is now pretty much done,next job was a small
modification on the brakerod and wingnut and then we wnt to work
on the leftside hydraulic clutch pedal. While mocking up all the
parts we found that the banjo bolt on the master cyclinder was
too high so we made a lower version out of a M12 bolt, which we
machined down and recut with M10 x 1.25 threads.
Because of the weight of the clutch pedal
we decided we would need an extra adjustable return spring and
a screw to adjust the length of the stroke so that we would not
destroy the master cylinder by pushing it in too far. We decided
to mock-up everything first.
With a bit of experimenting we found a way to make it all work
while hidden behind the motormount. Now we will replace the mockup
parts with the real parts that will be made from stainless steel
as usual.
