I thought about a few things like that, but honestly, there's plenty of room to get an 11/16" and a 3/4" wrench up there to loosen them.

Also on the list of upgraded goodies this winter are new brakes, at all four corners, and a new master and adjustable prop valve and splitter. The problem with the Wilwood masters is that the bolt patern don't line up worth a damn. At least it's off by an evn 90* making the mounting pretty easy, just need to do a little math.

Stock master vs Wilwood 1" bore Master



I found an old piece of some structural 3/8" steel that turned out to be the perfect size for the master and adj prop valve to mount to the existing brake booster valve. After all the math and double checking and then rechecking I drilled and tapped the appropriote holes. I obviously need some longer bolts



Here it sits before cutting... and as it will sit for the next 12 days I really wanted to get that bitch mounted and partially plumbed before I left, but whatever, not a HUGE deal by anymeans... didn't get the engine pulled either, that pissed me off though.

And here's an oh shit picture. Noticed this when I was mocking up some more things to weld onto my radiator Here is the benefit to ducting. The only way for the blades to hit the cage like this is from air pushing them into it. If the fan was on, the blades would be pulled into the core, not the other way around..... I wonder if blasting across the desert @ 130mph had something to do with this?

No matter, I need to build a new shround and use 8" fans x2 becuase of the belly pan I plan on building. So this will go on the ever expanding wall of fame, wall of shame, it dun blowed up shelf...

AAAAANNNNNDDDDD just for Vex. I actually have the wheel here with me in case we need to grab a few more measurements. The key measurement though is the ID. I mic'ed the hub up to 3.25" So whatever you feel is adequate clearance to keep the bitch centered, and keep it as strong as possible. 3.26" maybe? 3.255"?

You should make everything on your car quick disconnect. As often as you take it down to nothing might as well save the time
