A few misc items to update on.... yesterday was a bit of a light day.
First, continuing with the brakes.... I decided to go with a Tilton 3 chamber reservoir for the Front, Rear and Hydraulic Clutch brake fluid. Also, I wanted better brake bias control with a separate WilWood unit vs relying totally on the WilWood built-in pedal box brake bias adjustment. I'll be adding a Hurst Roll Control Solenoid (i.e., brake line lock) to the rear brakes for hill assist with clutch usage (we live in a very hilly area and my wife is a bit worried using the clutch... so this is my solution vs using a automatic transmission and allowing me to have my Tremec 6 speed manual trans).
I also ordered and received an upgrade to the coilover shocks... i.e., needle bearing thrust washer bearings vs using the plastic Delrin single flat washer FF supplied. The needle bearing washer are so much better and makes it much easier to adjust the coilovers under load. The picture below shows the plastic washer (left) and the needle bearing thrust washer (right). Picked them up on Amazon.
Lastly, I'm using an electric emergency / parking brake from E-Stopp. I'll mount this unit above the gas tank. I'll document its installation in the next post.
I'm also swapping out the 3/4" Clutch WilWood master cylinder with a 13/16" Clutch WilWood master cylinder. In reading many posts, this seems the recommended way to go.... HOWEVER, I'm really not sure why??? I'd love to hear from anyone if they have further insight to the reason for the clutch 13/16" master cylinder.
Stay tuned...
Thx Mark
