Good job with the wiper motor too. If I wasn't so lazy I'd do that as well : )

Thanks for putting up the details of how you went about mounting the BW78, interesting stuff.

The lines run through the chasis rails and under the lip on the firewall that the passenger side line normally runs on top of.
The mastercylinder and booster are off a VK V8 and i believe are the same as an A9X. This gets rid of the ugly proportioning valve and will work well with the 4 wheel discs i am running.

Nice job on the fans,
make sure you run 2 relays and heavy wire,and 40amp fuses.
i found out the hard way that these fans draw about 30/32amp on startup
then drop back to 10 when running,
this is my set up now (it still needs tidy up)

You also need to make sure that the battery hold down straps are strong enough to handle the forces involved in an accident.

The battery is secured in the box with a conventional battery hold down clamp, the box will eventually be gully sealed, there is a pipe running from the bottom of the box through the floor and venting above the diff housing.
Fitted up a gilmer belt drive today! I've always wanted one of these, i just love the noise they make!

Just curious m8, did the alt bracket bolt up to the the VN heads ok?
The Torana bracket will bolt straight up to the VN heads no problems.
Great looking build mate, making great progress!!

They're cheap and easy to fit too, which is a bonus.
A lot of people said they were bad for street engines and interfered with balance harmonics and crap, but in the 150,000+ km's I did I never once had an issue with either of them.

Belt drive is considered by many to be the ultimate cam drive system.

It would be interesting to see how many engine builders recommend using a gear drive over a belt or chain.
