Bleeding the brakes today. As you know it couldn't possibly go without issue.

I have one fitting leaking. Just so happens to be the fitting that goes into the master cylinder.

fuck me.

I tightened an extra bit, 3 times now. If it leaks again i may need to buy brake line and re-flare

Pull it out and put hi-tack on the threads. It won’t leak.

Newsflash mofo.

That worked beautifully.

Permatex #80062. Resistant to gasoline, antifreeze, brake fluid, oil, kneegrows, transmission fluid.

Brakes are bled, and I'll say manual brakes are going to SUUUUUUCKKK

It will be OK, the Ford lump isn't making too much power.

Brakes are over rated, and terrible for drag racing they will only slow you down.

Just buy a parachute or an umbrella, whichever works better.

Back to you Fox!

I have 6 plastic bags stuffed inside each other attached to a bungee mechanism with s-hooks.

Should work fine for the 200hp I'll be rocking

Added an "oh fuck" switch in the engine bay. Just in case i get a bit of fire under the hood and need quick fuel/spark shutoff

I always wanted to add one inside my race car within reach when strapped in for an "oh shit"moment be it fire or stuck throttle( I have one on the rear of my car as per the rules). I have 3 toggles on the dash that are within reach when strapped in that power up or kill the starter , fuel pump and ignition but the one "master switch" right next to my shifter might be easier in an "oh shit" moment.

even my MGB has a kill switch, between the seats/about a foot away on rear bulkhead, I make a habit of turning it on/off from the drivers seat so it is natural for me to go to.

Page 4 post 78 and 79 show the one i have in the center console for that reason also.

Except my car still runs a normal key, so i could simply turn the key off... but that wasn't "cool" enough for me. Added security maybe, i don't know

Should have hammertoned it!

That would have cost extra, maybe even thrown the balance off

 

[ratssass]

the last guy I know of that used hammertone is about a half bubble off....
