Have you figured out how you are going to mount your seats? Good thinking with the white, just hit it with a spray can when you weld the mounts in.

you can kind of see mine from this pic, also a 14" rally tire wont fit all the way down in the wheel well, mine has some bars that the wheel sits on/

Seat mounts are already in

you can just make them out... will grab a better pic tonight after the next coats go on.

Found out about the 14" tyre (DOH!).. planning to mount mine to that extra bar between the towers, then space for tools in the rest of the wheel well.

Hehe, I've just done the exact same job I agree 100% that it's bloody awful. I've never hit my head whilst doing paint prep so many times

ahh i see, nice work, the scruitineers generaly insist the wheel be fastened by 2 methods, thats why i have a ratchet strap and a pull down screw, really horrible for quick changes!!!

good to see it coming along, its starting to motivate me to get under mine and scrub and paint it.....its taken 3 months to get the motivation

Hey GolfNut, can you snap a few pics of your handbrake?

Here is a pic from when i bought the car (got it from qld)

I had to modify the linkage, found that it was not getting full throw, so you have to see a way that you can get it to move the piston maximum distance.
(picture is pre mod) all i did was weld a little tag on the end of it that went higher and further backward.

It originaly had the ratchet in it, i took it out cause it shat me, a mate of mine grided the bottom teeth off, so when u were using it on stage it wouldnt stick, but if u pulled it on hard when parked it would stay on (handy for on hills etc, but its bad practice to leave a hyd slave cylinder under pressure)

I dunno - I wouldn't have any teeth at all - in a reasonable setup with
good leverage, you have hold the car with no trouble anyway...
Looks like your lever is long enough...

Bluerex - nice cage
I agree with Matt Loon - I wouldn't be taking this car out into the forest

Geez what a bunch of pussies
The car may just turn up at the occasional show but its real purpose in life is tree-magnet Hehe.

I like the mc attached to the std brake, but I may have to fit a completely separate lever to keep the local rego authorities happy. My khana car (the yellow one) has a modified lever with an 'R' clip to disable the ratchet while running round the course.
