Started work on the new brake system this evening. First job was to make a bracket/mount for the new hydro handbrake. Only material at my disposal was some 2mm aluminium left over from making the front splitter. This worked well as it helps keep the weight down as the handbrake itself is very light.
I cut a slip and bent it into shape. It was awkward as I needed to work from two levels as you can see in the picture.
Obviously there would be little strength if this, so I had to make up a piece to act as a brace. This really gave the mount good rigidity
So when I was happy with the final location I fixed it in place and bolted the handbrake on.
This also gave me a good location to mount the bias valve.
Picked up some copper nickel piping and connections today do I started some pipe work. I'll need some T pieces for rear put I'll have to get them in Murray Motorsport during the week.
You can get copper or copper nickel piping and it was only last night I seen that pure copper is not acceptable for hill climb regulations. Full credit to Declan for pointing out the difference as I had no idea that copper nickel pipe existed.
Just done the front brakes for now. For the rear I'll pipe the two back ports into a T then go to the rear as single before another T into the two rears. I have seen people blank one port and just go all the way back as one. I just like the idea of using all ports just incase.
