I’m looking at running braided fuel and brake lines inside the car. The normal route seems to run them down the side of the exhaust tunnel. My shell doesn’t have any exhaust heat shielding underneath, would anyone else be concerned about how hot the tunnel might get? Anyone else run without...

Not sure hope not ?

Dug out my new brake fluid reservoir

It’s Nick’s from Puremotorsport old carbon dash from his 172 time attack car.

Got a little ramp to make life a little easier. Starting to take off the rear axle now to put my PMS axle on. @Nafoff can you confirm your brake master cylinder is a CUP spec cylinder?

Frustrating times ??‍♂️ Started laying out the brake lines for the storm. I thought something was odd when I had these delivered so messaged @Nafoff who kindly gave some thought and advice. Turns out there is a problem So the front driveside hose (left side of the master) won’t...

Fitted the pedal box, brake servo and brake master cylinder this morning, ready for running the braided brake lines.

Thanks mate. Nah the boots on the button poppers. Can see them just in these pics. The left side won’t even Clip together anymore.

Removed the front bumper and headlight blanks this morning as I wanted to drop the rad into the subframe as I’m paranoid it’ll get damaged laying around lol. I’ve also given the fibreglass panels a good look over. It needs a new bonnet as that’s crack in a lot of places. The drivers door...

Sounds the same as my kit I’m yet to kit ?? Will watch your progress on that.

Well worth doing, send everything that bolts to the crank. Pulley, clutch flywheel.

Did you get a hard pipe kit with your extinguisher kit?

I was worried someone would say this ??‍♂️ I can’t believe the cams don’t suit the tool correctly.

Has anyone ever had an issue with the cam locking tool not fitting in Cat Cams by anychance? Whilst I sorting the storm shell out I dragged the engine out to look at timing it up, but the D shaped locking tool wouldn’t slide into the slots on the catcams. Even if it took the cam out the head...

The Storm is finially home! Now tucked away in the garage.

Anyone got a guide to removing the front doors off the hinges on a 172? Is it a case of just knocking the pins out and unbolting the check strap?

First piece went back in the storm track car, which was the steering column ? Still strapped to my trailer tho ????

As far as I’m aware this beam looks the same as a normal 1*2 beam but has a hub type bearing with separate disc rather than the bearing pressed into the disc. Is this a Proper cup racer beam?

They’re ACW windows and won’t come out ? bounded in to well lol so I’m keeping the doors incase something happens to the fibreglass doors on the grey shell.

Need to move the Cup shell around so made a dolly out of a sturdy pallet and some castor wheels from screwfix. Works a treat car moves around like it’s on ice. Slightest of nudge and it’s off lol. The shell is ready to be scraped now with everything I want/need off it. And finially...

Love a mk1!!

I run a PMS quick rack, manual tho no hydraulic or EPAS ?

The F2 escort should defo have a thread going!

Nick at Puremotorsport ran one in his race 172. He was planning on producing them be decided against it as it was too risky. I haven’t heard of any others for sale either.

I’m 6ft2 and reach fine with a PMS shifter.

Sorry master cylinder end.
