Just finished off a set of radial calliper mounts for Modena. These were a bit of a challenge since they are offset to make clearance for the lower arm.
I did something a bit different this time. I tried making a YouTube video of the process for making them. Hopefully I'll be able to upload it shortly.
Cheers

Here's the next episode. It's about measuring up and finding the dimensions.
Radial Calliper Part 2 Measuring Up2 - YouTube
They are taking a while to upload as my internet connection is not real quick. One of the trade offs for living out in the country.

Great stuff Mike. I also noted some of the names of people you have followed to look into ehat they do. With everything that I will see and hear, my theoretical/hypothetical knowledge will improve, but my practical ability to actually do anything will still suck as much as it always has...!

I wasn't happy with the location of the hand brake on my CR chassis. It used an MGB lever and was mounted on the side of the tunnel. It looked nice and traditional but it dig into your knee when driving. It also limited the options for mounting the seats and being able to adjust the runners.
I decided to make something a bit more user friendly so developed a new hand brake mount. It uses a Lokar lever that attaches to the T56 gear box where the original shifter went. It turned out pretty nice and with the removable tunnel top it's dead easy to get to and adjust.
I'm thinking with the removable tunnel top I might have a go at giving it an engine turned finish and make it a bit of a feature of the interior.
Cheers

I didn't buy the Lokar switch as it seemed expensive for what it is. I figured I'd make my own. I'll post a pic once I get it set up.

The one thing I can't stand is someone who knows what they're doing!
