I’m working on a little something for fiddle brakes for those of us with road legal SJs ;)

Ooo interesting! I really should focus on working standard brakes before I start trying anything that fancy šŸ˜‚

Good work. It's a proud moment when your build gets mot'd and you go for the first drive.

I wasn't being the police and checking up, I'm certainly not one to follow rules, as you can tell from my builds :cowboy::

Been ticking away at jobs. Changed my front flexis over for extended ones and I've swapped the ports at master cylinder. Still need to bleed and test. Figure worth trying before cutting a bias valve in.

Also had the tbox out to fit a rockwatt gaurd, cause I run landrover engine mounts on it I've cut some of the floor out and raised it as high as can before hitting seat rails as bolts a pain to get to. All welded and Seem sealed just got to redoxide and paint then can fire it all back in.

Also swapped out my fuel pump as was weeping abit from the bottom hole. Thinking it may be alot of my fueling problems. So will need to change the oil in engine to.

No sign of v5 yet but got a day at drumclog planned for the 18th of may so still plenty time hopefully

So bad news. Dvla have said the car is still registered as permanently exported. So gonna be a long process getting it on road still.
