Not needed for the test, but we noticed the brakes need pumping a couple of times after the Pop's been stood overnight. These should cure it.

You need these if the master cylinder is at the lowest, or thereabouts, part of the braking system. |

When I built the chassis to put the Rover lump into the Mini, I had the master cylinder (Single system, Spitfire front, Jag rear) under the front floor and a remote servo under my seat, I never had a problem with the brakes loosing pressure (And still did'nt when I turned the chassis into The Cunning Plan, where the cylinder is still below the seat) but it did'nt take long for me to disconnect the servo as it gave me no feel, you only had to look at the brake and they would lock up. The car was on the road like that for 5 years and then 15 as a race car. A few people said it would'nt work, but it did.  |

Brakes are one of the things the testers are hot on.
Spent the afternoon sorting a few jobs on the chassis. Then trimmed an off-cut of the VW camper van repair panels we used for the pick-up bed arches to fill in the front corner.
This is the back end of the lefthand panel, welded to the front end of the righthand one, (the back ends have a 90 degree fold on the ends, perfect for forming the front corners of the bed sides). I've notched the corner to clear the exhaust. We've previously narrowed the arches themselves, so have created a bit of a repair panel jigsaw, but it seems to work. We didn't want just a plain, square box, but are trying to make something that looks a bit more ...factory built.
