…… yes I missed my 19 April, Super Trax Day target and with the entries open for the 9 May, Kyalami event we are still sweating it out on the brakes …… Having tendinitis in my arm is not helping either, can say that it seems to be improving until I do something stupid …..

The three pricey master cylinders acquired from Norbrake have diameters too large to suit Fossa’s brakes. Annoying as they were told what brakes were used. This from a place that maintain another historic racing Ford Anglia’s brakes, scary! The shaft mentioned in our previous post is eventually resized by buying our own “micro” lathe. So easy.

Had to modify our Anglia’s old brake masters to suit the pedalbox and remote reservoirs. After several fitting and removing of the pedal box, making new pipes, the brakes feel good on the pedal but the clutch is still quite hard, will only know once we test drive.

2 May 2015. After what feels like a million other challenges, the 40 DCOE Webers are fitted and we had our first start. As it was quite late in the evening, we will only do the setting of ignition timing and the 40’s today with the pre entry into the Kyalami, 9 May in the back of my mind ……

Brake and clutch test also on the to do list today, ……. cheers 😉
