Umm was planning on mild steel, aluminium is quite expensive to cut. I think I drew that one to 4mm plate but maybe 3mm would work.

Yeah they'll be tricky little buggers to weld but should be doable. They just neaten things up. If you look on the firewall the exsiting to bolts actually have a decent base to bolt into. When you redrill the new holes all you bolt to is flat sheet...

Nah I'm not buying the master cylinders. As neil said they're available here locally for $80.00 which is pretty damn good really, last one I checked was priced at $120 new.

Broseph, I think with larger bore it is a heavier pedal (not much different to stock really) but shorter travel, a sharp short stab with the foot will bring it to a halt fairly quick. With smaller bores it is an easier pedal but much longer travel. The...

So when you want better pedal feel, people go with a larger bore cylinder? Just a little unsure what this does to the brakes. Would a 11/16" one still be OK if it could be had for cheap? You have mentioned that the pedal travel is less, is this...

Hi, Thought I'd mention the setup that I put in a short while ago. It is nothing special but it has had a big improvement, I used the 7/8ths master cylinder from a 720 ute, it's a big bugger and needs more push and travels a little less than the stock...

I reckon if I owned that crate motor I wouldn't ever use it. I'd just clean it up a bit put some new grease on it and pack it up nicely again. If you could find some other NOS stuff to build it up to a full engine that would also be quite a cool little...

A12 heads are pretty common, it's the freight that will cost alot. They are fairly similar to the A10 (I can't think of any differences off the top of my head) so you could definitely use one. What's wrong with the head you have on the motor? Is it better...
