It's in the process of being moved to a larger garage so will get some more then.

Let us know what you end up doing for the Master.
S4 master and booster. I've been told this will provide "adequate" braking pressure for the setup I have, but I may need to use a late model 929/Eunos 1" master cylinder instead of the 15/16" S4. The booster will be fine no matter what I do, and it bolts right up to the same place the previous booster did.

Do you happen to have the part # for the rotors? The slotted ones you have look nice. The TII master should work good. I was going to try that, but went with the Isuzu master at the last minute.

Yes, I've heard that the dual-stage Isuzu master is a good replacement. When I was designing this car unfortunately those were less than common, but the TII unit is nearly as good. If all else fails, I'll go to a custom brake pedal/cylinder assembly, but I need to check legality on that sort of thing.

I don't know the exact part numbers, but the left rotor has 1603871 stamped on it, as well as "HC" and "L" in different places.

Hehe - much thanks to the man who made all this possible - if it wasn't for Hades12 I couldn't have adapted these. Hades12 shipped me some 84-85 model spindles from the US, which have a larger outer bearing size. Top bloke - can't thank him enough for all the effort he went to for me

I'm just pleased I can draw on the good will of Hades12 and the inspiration of Directfreak, without them, this project would be very different.
