Brake plate from a member

Getting ready to put a firewall mounted disc brake set up on the 1950.

I got this plate from joedoh.

I am not sure if he is a rocket surgeon or a brain scientist but this plate he makes is kick ass easy.

Bend and tack then bend and tack.

I am not sure I did it as designed but it turned out perfectly workable.

Nice piece.

Scott

That's a firewall saver. Back in the 70's when the hot lick was to stick the master cylinder on the fire wall of your hot rod I saw a number of cracked out firewalls because the guy who stuck the car together (can't call them builders) just drilled holes in the firewalls and hung the pedal and master cylinder.

That's a very good review. Russ makes some nice things. Do the rest of the board a favor, and Russ, and write a nice review here too, so that it gets more traffic, please.
