Default Fiesta RS Turbo track car project - lower brace 7th Oct

Just a small update for today, As i will be running the brake lines inside the car and using a bias valve, i thought i may aswell also use a hydraulic handbrake!

Handbrake rested in place where i want it



Marked the holes and used M8 rivnuts



Bolted in with stainless cap heads



Was looking at how to fix the original handbrake cable too , thought about adding a section on the lever then fixing the cable to it but because of where the lver pivots right at the bottom, it wouldn't pull the cable, only move it up.
SO, i mounted it in a position that allows me to unclip the lever and bolts the original handbrake in incase mr MOT'er gets funny about there being no cable fitted, i can fit a cable and lever for an MOT



And thought i may aswell mount the bias valve on the side keeping it neat and tidy!
I drilled the bracket and added ally M6 rivnuts. At the moment i've used stainless capheads but i think i'll change them to red anodised ones to keep the silver / red theme!



Next up is to order my brake lines and fittings. Will rivnut the brake line clips in with red anodised round headed bolts! Once they are all mocked up, i'll remove everything and get the inside painted
