I braced up my MC today, Brant had some photos of a brace he made for his race car. I used the leftover brace from the AC condenser on the other car cut it to size and left a 90 degree corner. To that corner piece I welded a small strap - kind of like a T for more surface area to weld to the suspension cross member. Once in place I hose clamped it down then welded the brace to the cross member. Have to be careful and give yourself room to remove the MC later as well as room to put back in the splash pan.

You can't feel the MC flex when you put your hand on it when someone pumps the pedal - not even a vibration. In the drivers seat it feels weird to feel hitting the proportioning valve which feels like shorter pedal travel and no mush.
If you are ever bleeding your brakes with the 2 man method, watch your MC as someone pumps the brakes, you'll see what I mean. |
