Another small thought, a couple of Nyloc nuts on the master cylinder retaining bolts might keep Mr IVA happy love the mod, im thinking of doing the same thing now myself.

The pedal box is very much a job still in progress, needing to sort out the clutch & throttle cable fittings.
Forgot to mention that the plate I made for that mod has 2 captive studs welded to the reverse side ( 8.8 set bolts ) I'll be using flat washers/nylocs throughout the build & loctite on anything captive Now here's a little thing I personally like to do for peace of mind. When it comes to final assembly, in particular, fixings. Personally, I like to put a small dab of paint on any fixings that have just had it's final tighening. I use Blue for anything that has been loctited & yellow for anything else Silly I know but if it is done at the time of final tightening of each fixing it will give you a visual indication of any fixing that may of been overlooked

That's a great idea Bonzo, we use the same thing in the Aerospace world. The name escapes me, but it's something like proof paint or something similar, and we put a line of it across the nut, surface and bolt, to prove that not only has the fastening been tightened (to torque usually), but also that it has not moved in use (by vibrations etc).
Definitely a good thing for piece of mind! |
