Let's get caught up to present: Cooling lines installed. Some of the gates shrink clamps too. The S2000 MC that ultimately didn't work due to failure to bleed: Had set up some 90* fittings and a bracket for the reservoir to mount in this orientation: Clutch slave cylinder flex line bracket: Key oreintation flipper 180* Reduced width and primered (no pic of it installed...) : Removed broken bolt from rear: Success: Wilwood MC installed and BLED!!! (FYI the nut on the firewall above is for the fuse panel and will be relocated to the inside/welded in before paint) Rack ready to go in: ...and back on her wheels: Just waiting for a clear day now... Better/outside pics to come! |

Thanks, I'm "theastronaut" on TheSamba too. Are you're talking about the '55 International build on here? I don't remember posting it over there, other than mentioning that I was restoring it at work.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
looking at the pics i kinda wondered if you couldve made a flange adapter that mount off the bulkhead and would rotate the 2000 cilinder 45 degrees and use a little longer pushrod in it

Sweet. Let me know if you need any help with the painting and detailing. I just got a new job at a metal fab shop doing painting and powder coating.
