And cleaned up the rear brake unions so they look new again! ( Thanks to pruplebug for one of them!)

Pretty gutted as I didn’t really want to do that and stripping the box looks like hassle. http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/s...5.jpg~original Done until next year now. have a good new year everyone!!! |
Wow! I gotta get moving on mine! Hey... those are my seats! :lmao:
Looks great! |
Nice work!
Your sure those are the (wider) turbo arms though? They seem to have the shorter outer nose (?) |
Thanks guys :) wrenchnride stop working on other peoples cars and get yours done :p your motor looks ace btw!
Wally - you are right they are the narrower turbo arms. Wally on a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate the difficulty of stripping down the 915 box? I've never done a box before. Cheers Deano |
There is no such thing as a 'narrow turbo arm', but hey who cares :D
Just taken a 915 apart is really not that difficult in hindsight, you just need to overcome a barrier with yourself. Its more psychological than mechanical really ;) You do need a good manual/parts sheet to get starting though. |
taller disc then lol. Cool, i think it just seems a bit intimidating if that makes sense. I read a rebuild thread and it looked straight forward but i gues you never know until you give it a go!

Really, REALLY nice, well thought out, can't wait to see her together.

Moving along very nice! I hope you plan on putting some sound-deadening in before interior is fitted though. ;)
|
2 thumbs way up bro :D:D
|
The Tilton piece, mounted on the tunnel by the shifter, it's a staging brake?
|
That would be a brake-bias valve. Used to adjust the balance between the front and rear brakes.

Very nice. Love that color.
