Finally got my brake adapters all fitted up now. Eventually I'll get 300mm rotors, but that can wait for now.







Now to plumb them in and bleed them up.

Couple of pics to show where I am with it right now...





Brakes are all bled up and functioning, and 90º mandrel bent 2¾" exhaust pipe is on order for the dump pipe.

I got impatient so I made the most agricultural, ugly but functional dump pipe out of old scrap exhaust for the Cortina today. It will work, so meh.

It's coming up nicely Tils, you've done a good job.
I couldn't see a lot of information on you brake master and booster setup, any chance of some more info? Custom braket? Donor vehicle?

Cheers

It's a modified cortina bracket. I've gotta take it all apart again later. I'll take some pics when I do.
