Jeff's Extended Track - 07 SS/SC Donor - Chassis #91

[Rttoys]

You do great work, I have same color and wish I would have powder coated my fuel tank,

Seems like the hardest part of this project (minus the wiring harness), is planning the colors of every part, so you don’t have to back track. Even the best laid plans never work out perfect either. I want to go back and change colors on some stuff, but it‘ll have to be later, because I want to drive it now.

Build Update: I installed the front brakes with steel braided lines from DFG. I also used black brake line holders / clamps from eBay ($10 each x 4).

your adjustment on the bottom of the shock will be a little tight to get to and adjust. You may want to rotate it to point in.

Clutch and Fly Wheel Help...

Are these things bad or do they always look like this?

That's about what my clutch looked like. It's easy to replace now so I won't even risk using the donor clutch. I ordered a FX Stage 2 Clutch and slave off of Ebay. $155

Mine are like that. Felt it was better protected that way. Can still adjust.

JB, are you talking about the little knob (blue arrow) in the picture below? If so, the reason I pointed it inward is to keep it from getting hit by rock and debris. I too can still adjust them.

Since you just did the brakes, how easily did the piston slide in? The last video shows lonny sliding it in with the ease, mine takes quite a bit of pressure and I’m wondering if I missed something

Calipers painted or powder coated?

Good luck on the inspection. Chassis 208 arrives in Cincinnati this weekend. Excited to get started on the build.

It’s a coin toss. Turned inward and they are exposed, but easier to adjust. Turned outward and they are protected, but harder to adjust.

The DFG supplied brake calipers had the pistons already pushed in when I installed the pads, so no difficulty for me.

Calipers are painted with matte black Dupli-Color Caliper paint (rattle can) from Advanced Auto.

Most likely you'll beat me to inspection.

Mine were very hard to move in the new calipers, had to use a C clamp to get pads over rotor. But they work great in the car. A little too great sometimes, ha.

That’s why I did mine that way also, Great minds think alike

"Dear Customer, In our system shows your item has picked up by shipping carrier. But your item looks like lost since there is no any information was updated. Please let us double check it for you once we back to office on next business day. Thank you fro your time and patience."

Sure, I ordered them from Summit Racing. The part numbers are as follows:

VPE-10251A from Vibrant
Fitting, Adapter, 90 Degree, Male -4 AN to Male 1/8 in. NPT, Aluminum, Black Anodized, Each
(Mfr. #: 10251A)

VPE-11351 from Vibrant
-4AN to 1/8"NPT Male Swivel 90 Degree Adapter Fitting
(Mfr. #: 11351)

RUS-659020 from Russell
Brake Line, Competition, Braided Stainless Steel, 18 in. Length, -4 AN Female, -4 AN Female, Each
(Mfr. #: 659020)

At first I thought the 18 inches lines were going to be too short, but they are perfect. The fittings on the reservoir will swivel, but you don't have to go that way if you can get the non-swivel pointed in the right direction.

Hey Jeff how many of each of those 2 adapters do you need? 2 of each?

Thanks!
Nuker-
