Hi all
Not a lot happening with the RS but a lot going on in the background.
I was looking at the USA for some performance bits for the Zetec and couldn't help myself
I came across the Tilton master cylinder kits and as they were reasonable money i thought I'd buy and compare to the Wilwoods i have.
These kits retail for <$90 and come complete with a universal reservoir kit including the hose. I will be using the remote mount "spiggot" adapter to run the hose from my reservoir mounted ontop of the bulk head (see earlier posts).
A primary reason I looked into thses was the push rod is threaded further down the shaft which allows more adjustment as the "nose" on the Tilton ballance bar is 15mm longer than the Rally Design gear. I could easily run the thread further down the Wilwood one if I pleased.
They're also much shorter than the Wilwood item although you still need to include the pipe fitting on the end of the Tilton.
I thought this may also provide some info if others are looking at alternative options.
 

Looks the biz Paulie - very nice work!

Thanks!
At least that takes the pressure off posting progress for another year
 

Yerp, just like my mk1 van... Check at the top of the splash guards too above the drip rail . That's the area where the bonnet release lever lives , this spot might be swiss cheese as well :'(.
Nice to see yu back into RS mode again Paul .

Well made a small step forward by making the repair sections for the bulk head to repair the rust in the above post.
Decided to do it in 2 sections to match the original panels. This meant making a section which is the extension of the firewall which extends up and over the top of the inner wing and also forms the drip channel. Then the 2nd which finishes the drip channel and goes over the lot. I will then rivet to hold it all together and then plug weld each panel in position as per the original spot welds.
There is a small section of the bottom repair which is bent @ 90 deg to meat up with the original firewall section which will be welded from inside the shell. I then need to repair the mounting point for the bonnet hinge and attach said hinge.
 

Hi Evan. According to my theories 0.625 front and rear gives the best compromise as I'm yet to try it in practice.

I have 2 x 0.625 installed on my pedal box.

Thanks as real life feedback is ideal.
