EURON8 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Tis quite awesome there buddy. Have been looking at a couple of handbrake options. What Master did you use? I cant believe people pay $200+ for an hydraulic handbrake. They are not exactly hard to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oftensideways Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 you're dead right on the cost! its unreal the money you can save if you have the gear and skill to make stuff. i'll have to get back to you on what the master is off but anything old that has single circuit brakes and a remote resevoir (so both holes take fittings) should do the trick. trailer master cylinders would work to i guess if you tap out the fitting but I didnt look into it.

oftensideways Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 So I fitted tyres to the rims today but to dark for pics now, wheels look rather average with tyres on them as I was half expecting, but I'm guna paint the lip black and I think that will change the whole look of them for the better. Anybody got any pics of wide 14s with 195/45 on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oftensideways Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 weak link at the moment is the diff, the standard is taking a fair bit of abuse but have blown a few axels. plan is to upgrade to a b1600 diff at some stage so will have to cut the floor and tunnel up to get it even lower!
