It may not go yet but it will stop

In addition to conducting a lesson on hydraulics and the incompressibility of a fluids we passed a major milestone today completing the entire braking system including ABS pump. We bled and pressure tested the system with no leaks on our first try.


The next item on our agenda is to fabricate a mount to relocate the handbrake to the top of the tunnel from the passenger floor where Factory Five would have you place it. We temporarily clamped the handle in place and ran the cables just to get an idea of where it will need to be. Next we need to reinstall the engine and transmission to make sure there will be no interference with the mount I am designing before I weld it up.
