With the brakes all sandblasted and the arrival of the pads i decided to fit everything up and start measuring the brakeline lengths.
Thinking about doing an ETS logo CNC machined into the brakes, the pads are RDA brand and were under $50 for the 8 pads, so cheap! Drift cars dont need fancy high temp pads so these will do the job.
The harnesses are in and have have to come back out to be cut and sewn together as theres no room for the adjuster to sit behind the seat, theres enough adjustment on the lower loops to get the fit right.
Its time to purchase a weld on removable steering wheel hub to weld on to the steering column, i have the length and hight just right now.
So now its time to do another Summit order on fittings and pre made brake lines, i hope all my measurements are right!

The quality of work that has gone in to this is astounding, it’s actually a bit of a shame to put body panels on it!
Nice work.

Ive always had a pretty cool idea so i will just suggest it here as well. instead or painting the inside of the truck, why not just clear coat over it? it would stillbe protected by the clear coat but that is some glorious work so why not show it off? 😀 its be cool to still see the hard work put into the Ute

Nigel, are you sand/bead blasting all of those parts or are you putting them through some kind of chemical stripper?
Nigel
Sandblasting Marc

I love sandblasting, I used to sand blast turbo housings in my early teens with my mentor. I’ve been meaning to get another sand blaster. How much air pressure do you usually need for it?
