AV8 progress pics

Hi Guys and Gals! Time for an update as I've been doing stuff so here goes: Plumbed in the hard lines to the front brakes which included these flex lines to the master cyl. which enable it to be removed with or without the crossmember for trans removal or whatever:

 

Next I built the battery box from recycled flat bar from a Loomis armoured truck's front grill! :

 

Bottom view:

 

Next I sliced and diced up a mid '30's s**** pedal to fit in the NARROW confines of the "A"'s firewall:

 

Inside view:

 

Then I did up a solenoid mount in "traditional" Bishop/Tardel style!:

 

And finally, I got around to setting up the compressor I bought over a year ago!:

 

Part of piping grid:

 

Just have to finish running a line to the other side of the shop and may have to bolt the compressor to the floor as my "custom pallet" mount is already beginning to show cracks and the unit is "wandering" a little! As a temporary measure, I installed the owl to keep an eye on it. That's it for now! Regards, Dave.

 

Nice progress brother, I likey.

 

Where is the picture of the whole car? How much do you charge to organize a garage?

Keep up the good work !! Nothing better than a new compresser...

 

Very nice, it's clear you put a lot of thought into your work!

 

Very nice battery mount and location. Looks great. Wish i had time to run my air lines.

 

I got all the same stuff you got.....I just can't find it .............nice garage

 

I love to see this stuff,

more more more!!!

 

That is one hell of a good idea on the master cyl. flex line. Nice work-MIKE

 

laidoutford: This is the last one I took of the whole car. Pretty much looks the same except the front axle is out right now so Shiny can drop it for me:

 

Oh, and no charge for garage organizational consultation - although you may find some of your parts missing when I'm done! Terry: Thanks! Yeah, sometimes I think I think too much (I think!)

 

Everyone else: Many thanks for you kind words! Now it's on to front seats (once and for all!) and exhaust system building! Regards, Dave.
