Try Auto blast or Blacky has a mate

Thanks Gazza I just sent an email to Autoblast, it was Blacky's mate that hurt himself

Car is looking amazing. Shed is awesome too

Got the front clip back from the blasters
Much cleaner now

Primer is an epoxy poly zinc, looks neat

Needs a little attention but solid

Before




After



Chasing a battery box section



Bit of subframe attention

Bit of firewall smoothing and tidy up, with Anti-Ox and epoxy

Will do for now as it will get some trimming when the engine goes in

Front clip bolted on hopefully rolling soon, starting to look a bit cleaner now. Has been sitting way too long

Great build, had a read from start to current- a lot going on in that garage!

Has anyone installed a 7 inch booster/master unit on a car keeping the hydraulic clutch master? Can it be done? Also, does the booster have to go into the firewall, or can it be mounted on a support off the firewall without having to cut the big hole into the pedal box?

I have fitted a booster and kept the hydraulic clutch master in the rattler , but the bonnet hinge had to be changed

Good to see progress Gazza
All looks very tidy

The booster can come out as far as you want, provided the pushrod is extended. I've seen photos of them extended deep into the bay, past the bonnet hinges. Looks ungainly, but works.

A remote booster tucked up under the guard is another option (the Protex JB1217 master is a bolt up fit, will give you dual circuit boosted brakes, and readily retains the clutch master).

Or under the tray in a ute… Point is he already has the hardware so wants to use it.

Thanks Harv. Engineer is not accepting remote booster option unfortunately, otherwise I'd have it sorted.

That's one fussy engineer. Remote boosters were as common as bums (and even a factory option) up until HK.

Yeah it's a pain in the bum too.

How about putting just the clutch master cylinder under the dash?....Using something like this?.. https://malwoodauto.com.au/underdash-hydraulics/

I also intend on running a manual box, when the time comes I'm going to make my own version of an under dash hydraulic clutch system.

Toprodz in Melbourne make a unit that can mount the brake master cylinder under the dash and still accommodate the clutch mechanism.

Yes fancy units those. There is hardly enough room under dash to run demister duct even with standard stuff. It will be quite a job getting that unit under there. Like the lateral thinking around options though. Thanks for raising it.
