Dunno if anyone is interested, I was going to buy a master cylinder kit off Mr Valskis (SP?) for my FD3S, but being in the UK the hassles of having stuff shipped from the US and potential duty and tax made me decide to make my own. It is now installed, I have pics on my web site, and I add one here too. The detailed pics are at:

I will be adding in car bias adjustment via cable and **** next. The set up runs with 14 inch front AP discs and AP lightweight race 6 pot calipers, and rear 13 inch AP discs with AP lightweight 4 pot calipers. I have also sourced a complete set of uniball joints to replace all the rubber bushes remaining in the FD suspension from Japan, and it fits perfectly and seems excellent quality. The stock NONE rubber sleeved uniballs remain, but all rubber isolated, or rubber only ones are replaced with steel mounted uniball bushings. The car is for track usage, yet will remain (just) road legal.

Any personal replies to chris@formula3.freeserve.co.uk please, my web access is limited. Thanks.

Wow, you're no ordinary shade-tree mechanic, are you?

Serious braking power. Where do you plan using this stuff...what circuit that is?

I recently saw Swordfish. I was surprised to see John Travolta driving a TVR Tuscan (I think that's Tuscan?). I wonder how long it took Travolta to learn how to shift with his left hand?

It was funny when Travolta asked the main character to "learn" how to drive the Right-Hand-Drive TVR, during the car chase scene. In fact that actor (the one playing the ace computer hacker) is British, so of course he knows how to drive the TVR
