still got plenty to be on with. went to get some caliper sliders from the dealers and at £18 each I thought sod that! seen them for £5 each on ebay so im sure they will do the job just fine ;)

Just seen the updates on this thread , it's coming on great Phil , well done sir .

Master cylinder back from a partial recondition

 

Haven't changed the seals but had it completely stripped and Zinc plated. Considering these things are pretty much impossible to come by and mine looked terrible in figured this was my only option. Also got my caliper slider bolts.

Nice steering wheel. Is that a Mountney?

[Philuk 0]

Yea it's a mountney one, had it a few years dunno if it will stay or go tbh!

[diarmaid16 1]

I suppose it's hard to know if they suit a corrado. Lovely wheel all the same!

[swiftkid 1]

That wheel is absolutely miniature! Pretty cool and old skool though. I'm making notes of what needs doing to mine as you update your thread lol

Haha Dave it's a complete nightmare at times! I get there and go to fit something and ****e! I need this bolt or this clip and I just don't have it, that means buying it the following week and waiting till the next weekend

Nice work on the master cylinder, you can't beat freshly plated parts.

[Philuk 0]

thanks, yea im really impressed with it :D we had els bike carbs done by the same guy a few weeks ago and was really chuffed with them :)

[swiftkid 1]

Yea tell me about it, done that once and it's expensive! And I didn't get to the engine bay like you have. It's well worth it once it's done though! And hopefully you'll only need to do it once

[Philuk 0]

I seriously don't plan on doing anything like this again to this car... unless I have to r32 but then I wont have to be as extreme ;)

[swiftkid 1]

Well once I build my vrt I'll have a spare r32 conversion... Or you could buy my spare r32 engine and rebuild it ;)

[Philuk 0]

gotta get it back on the road before I even consider looking for a new engine ;) lol

Got the front calipers carriers discs and hoses all on today, now gotta work out how all the wiring goes, the ecu is back in with the wiring but need to work out where everything else goes and where it should all sit, bit of head scratching to do I think!

I know you gave that caliper a little kiss when you fitted it...
