The LOFI principle

... or, why you have to put first into the chassis what you last took out. Clear? LOFI stands for: last out first in. Some of the brake lines mount easier with the engine out, so after a little attention with Scotchbrite, the first part of the brake system went in (T and RH brake line).

 

Where possible, I will re-use the old brake lines. For those not fitting in the new installation or in bad shape, I will replace them with new ones. To do this, you need a flaring tool kit and some special spanners (flare nut crowfoot wrench), new brake line and... keep those old lines, they are precious templates.

 

Mounting the pedalbox took me almost all the Saturday afternoon. The accelerator pedal mechanism is now ready to receive the clevis linking the bowden cable to the throttle.

 

This meant grinding and drilling to assure the clevis to move freely when activating the throttle pedal... which I hope doing a lot !!! After the mod I repainted the machined end with chassis paint.

Cheers.
