    When the door is shut you cant get the pins out. The delrin part riveted to the rear bulkhead has a thread as does the pin. On the rear clip it has another delrin collar that the pin passes through, so it does not rattle nor is it metal on metal. Every time I have had the back up doing work I...

    fuel filling

    Fasteners for plexiglass / laminate

    I used these in my alloy body,I drilled a hole then used a small square file. as you have a glass body maybe you can source a longer clip, the advantage is it acts like a nylock but if you strip it you pop in another clip. They come in different sizes. jim

    Brake Judder!!! What is it? Why does it happen?

    What the issue is as the pad builds up heat it lets out gas.The gas builds up and when it gets to a point it cant escape from under the pad so it will push the pad back of the disk the evacuate. This is why it gets worse as it gets hotter, more heat more gas. Slot your rotors, when on slot is...

    Brake Judder!!! What is it? Why does it happen?

    The pad is building up gas and pushes the pad back of the disk , that is the shudder. Slot your rotors so as one slot is leaving the pad another must be entering. This will give the gas a escape path. As your pad temp is increasing the issue is worse, also when it cools and you are streeting the...

    brake line pressure

    I take a simplistic approach to this, I have had numerous duel master pedal boxes and have sold over 30. Most have ended up with 5/8 front and rear and just balance it off on the bar. If the pedal is to hard the cylinder or cylinders are to large, if low to small, when correct the feel is some...
