braided brake lines, vt MC/booster conversion, find a place for ecu, sort air intake, freshen up engine seals, send trans off for a rebuild (just cause), mod bell housing for left hand stater motor, make block off plate for old starter location, fuel lines, install vt v8 fuel sender in drop tank, mount charcoal canister somewhere, move or shield brake line from exhaust, rack boot sheilds, send extractors out for ceramic coating, everything to do with drive shaft to diff, install lsd diff, redo a bunch of stuff cause i didnt consult an engineer.....

getting some braking stuff collected. think the AU falcon reservoir is a direct fit to the vt master cylinder. the ones at the wreckers were a little too manky for me so i just used the VS commodore one and relocated the hole. i took a 10mm bolt and tap/die'd it to 8mm, then put 8mm nylock nut on the back side. worked a treat.

old/new reservoir

yummy

hopefully sort any bonnet clearing issues, not that i checked if there were...

i bought the brake line adapters for the master cylinder conversion but decided not to use them. 1 because they look stupid, but secondly the braided brake line kit i bought only caters to the bubble flare lines of VR commodore and up. every line on the car is inverted flare.

today i went to the wreckers and took every brake line off a VR irs car to convert everything over. $30 all up for the parts. couldnt find a VR irs that didnt have abs module so that long brake line is probably going to have extra. im either going to make a couple turns to lose length or take it to the brake joint next door to my work after i test fit and have them shorten and flare the end.

the longest one runs front to back of car....

oh also new camera btw... if you couldnt tell....
