Brake hoses are now on (thanks voucht!) and I'm cracking on with arranging the cooling pipes.

It would be avantageous to fit and ally sheet to the chassis just in front of where the scuttle goes however I have no bodywork to guide me and how I cut/attach the panel. Can anyone offer any guidance on that?

Also, clutch hoses for mx5 based cars?

My master cylinder is mounted high and the pedals are hung from above. To connect the master to the slave I had a flexible hose made up that goes direct from master to slave by Sylvain which means only 1 direct fitting works very well indeed. Thanks again to Sylvain

You could just file a couple groves in. They don't need to be particularly deep and the corner of a square file will make short work of it.

You can put a piece of hose on it and file against the edge of the hose to get a straight edge all the way around.

Cheers

Thanks guys, I should've added that I've used the book pedal box and wilwood style cylinder.

The master and slave cylinders are so close together that the hose will be difficult to create in such a way that it looks 'right'.

I'll try manipulating the oem parts as suggested or failing that I'll get a hose made.

Re the pump inlet I have filed some grooves into it. With the correct size hose and a jubilee clip I can suspend my own weight from it. Jerking it doesn't move it either. I core plugged the heater hose join and wound a bolt into the small 8mm inlet which I cut and filed but I now realise I needed that! I have another for a mk2 version..

I'll post some pics once things are finished.

Tight.





The master cylinder outlet is 3/8 24tpi and the slave inlet is m10x1.
