Booster/pedal assembly

Body stripped and ready to begin work. This was taken in 1990. Brake booster and master cylinder adapted to the original EH Auto pedal box. Only needed to open up the hole in the pedal box and spread the sides. Then make a new pushrod. Booster and cylinde

Corvette rotor on HQ drum brake hub

I was looking to buy a set of custom front hubs to mount the C6 Z06 front rotors. I remembered I had some HQ drum brake front hubs. Stud pattern is the same and the hole size in the centre of the rotor is exactly the same as the diameter of the drum mount

Front hub adaptors for Corvette rotors (5)

Billet aluminium with initial sizing complete. These adaptors will allow me to mount the C6 Z06 rotors under the hubs. this will move the front wheel in 12mm giving more clearance between the tyres and guards

Vacuum pump pieces

Diesel brake vaccum pump pulled down and ready to reassemble. I may need extra vacuum if the cam I am using doesn't create enough vacuum. I'll attach a vacuum switch to cut the motor in and out and keep a constant supply.

IMGP1335

I bought a set of blank hubs to use with the Corvette rotors and calipers. I had these drilled with 10 holes in a 4-3/4" PCD. 5 holes for the wheel studs and 5 for mounting the rotor in a rotor under setup.

IMGP1337

Hub with pilot holes and the rough machined spacers. The spacers will be final machined to give the correct rotor offset.

IMGP1338

Spacer mounted over hub.

IMGP1341

Hub, spacer and rotor assembled. I will drill the rotor mounting holes and assemble the setup onto the stubs to determine the offset needed. Then disassemble the setup and final machine the spacer.

IMGP9617sml

I repainted the front hubs and did a final check of wiring, pipes and hoses. I also ran a spanner over everything to ensure nothing was missed.
