I seem to recall from my youth it was 7

Long time ago ....

As long as you get good leverage and it does not run out of travel it should be ok.

Once its up and running try it on the road or MOT rollers,probably not a good idea to rely on adjusting it at the caliper ends and IVA man might not like it either.

Basically what you are doing is turning a shaft/bolt against the pads to produce the effort.

That's looking super, really polished. Can I ask, what's your trade? Do you work for McLaren?

I've figured out how to add the old adjuster back on so all good, cheers

Lol cheers, it's getting there bit by bit, still loads to do I think, I wish I did work for mclaren! I'm an engineer, working on cnc mills, we make aerospace and f1 parts from aluminium, stainless and titanium mainly

Ah, so there's some work place skills that come in handy!

I guess it'll be able to move under its own steam soon...

Yeah a little lol, but I do make most of my stuff at home though

As you moving, yeah not far away, need some shocks and wheels, only thing is I want to get my bodywork first so I can work my wheel offset out so its sits nice

Well more done today, made some little crush tubes for the fuel rail, also I've vapour blasted the bracket to make it look at bit more factory





Also I've started making a new gear lever, just the lower bit with the bearings in as its a bit of a bodge lol
