    Re: four door mk2 road rally project

    Fully assembled pedal box have used gen girling cylinders and fitted the dash adjuster, I am using banjos for the feeds to the front and rear. The front goes to a bulkhead mounted tee piece then through the bulkhead and down the spring pan rails.

    Mounted the bottles on a alloy bracket I machined, have space for an extra cylinder if I go hydraulic clutch

    Made a clutch cable bracket as I'm running a crossflow with an rs type alloy bellhousing. I'm using a long rs2000 clutch cable that came ready with heat shield from rally and competition equipment.

    Tried the clutch and feels ok if a bit stiff

    I stripped the second hand ap master cylinder I had got cheap took it into work and cleaned it in the ultrasonic bath, came up well. I then fitted the seal kit i got from tweeks for 8 quid and mounted the cylinder. Fitted it to the bracket and attached the brake pipe with new copper washers.

    Nice work mate, the mounted bottles look bang tidy. Did you make your pedal box yourself?

    Removed the fuse box and fitted a new blade type fuse box mounted underneath where the old one was so didn't have to lengthen any wires. Made a stainless cover for the hole.

    Nice thread mate.

    4 doors will be seen more and more in competition as the 2 doors thin out.

    Great thread, your car seems to be having all the same repairs as mine needs, it's nice to see all the photos of the welding to make sure I'm doing it right.

    The xe has been great, I think you would struggle to get the same sort of power out of another motor for the same cost of the xe convertion, and if it goes bang it's just a case of replacing it with another pretty cheap standard motor.
