Like your approach to the brake plumbing, I used banjo fittings and they are a pain.

I thought of using banjo's. I'm not sure why we went these to be honest

It ended up well though

Had the car upon the hoist so took a few pics

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

After one of your previous posts, I got inspired and saved myself several hundred $'s by opting to do the same on my mk2 gt Cortina dash instead of having it recovered. Thanks! Quick question, is the hydraulic handbrake just plumbed inline with the rear brakes? Is there anything else that needs doing/modifying?

It'll be painted before you know it!

Shaun

Hi Mate,

Thats great. Post a pic

The hydro brake is just plumbed direct into the rear brake line. Very easy

Cheers

Wheel alignment all done and wheels pointing the right way



Flocked dash looks awesome too!!

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Tomorrow is the wheel alignment then the wiring starts

Not long now.....

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Next up is to paint the front dash and also blend in the front of the cage to avoid the glare and also make it disappear when sitting in the drivers seat. You can;t believe the difference this makes
