The rocer cover on mine (mk3) was some dark yellow pale orange and on the mk2 it is red i'm going to paint my engine in black ;) just need some paint for the engine :P and my rocer cover was silver ish .. now is repaint it in Silver and also the ear cleaner box in the same color :p look very good ! :P ;) You're a friend of Shaun right ? :)

I have lookt at many spit/gt6 for how high the exhaust was mounted and its al the same.. The original exhaust is also low i find.. My friend his old gt6+ mk2 was also mountrd like this. Wim

smithy wrote:Seems sensible - it will need support up front. Mine's a lot different of course so I can't help with a photo. :-/ yeah i heard that you're spit is a bit different :P My old exhaust was fitted with that bracket (but broken off :-/) and then there was a bracket at the gearbox .. the bolt from the gearbox was nearly broken off :o because of the bracket the bolt was extreem thin ... but i got it out so :P maybe i need the secure the new exhaust there also .. ;) Wim

Nick_Moore wrote:Ok, so the input threads on the PDWA are the Sam, but the front circuit's output thread is larger? I was actually referring to the internal cylinder diameters in the master cylinder. Different diameters would mean different amounts of force being applied to the different circuits. I'm not about to strip mine down to check! By American friends, I mean that the English cars had single circuit brakes and therefore no PDWA. The American cars did have tandem brakes, so their owners have had to fight this battle before. my master cilinder has rebuild by a mate his father .. so .. i don't know about it :-/ the english had single line but round about 1980 it was tandem ( i read it somewhere) Al the export (i think ) was tandem, i know al belgium cars where tandem line so .. The european tandem and american tandem are not the same i have seen .. but the same pdwa :P

Nick_Moore wrote:Yes, I see the problem. If both cylinders in the tandem master cylinder are the same diameter then it shouldn't be a problem, as both will produce the same amount of braking force. But I don't know if the two are the same diameter. Have you contacted Canley Classics? Otherwise, I think we're going to need our American friends' help. Guys? just on the pwda there is a different diameter .. at the master cilinder there is 2 3/8 and at the pwda there is a 3/8 for the back and a bigger one for the front .. I can bend the new pipes into the 2 places at the master cilinder ,not so tidy then but it works maybe then :P i hope you understaind it :o and american friends ?? mine is not american :P ;)

4526 wrote:here is my problem .. no 1 (pwda valve) goes to no 1 at the master cilinder (original at my spit) But at the haynes it says otherwise .. and at the way my canley's kit is made its also like the haynes .. Is it a problem if you mix there ? like 1(pwda) to no 2 (master cilinder) ?? :-/ i hope to get an answer :P Kind regards Wim
