    Hi, I'm just going to have a small length of clear pipe for the master cylinder, it's worked ok for me in the past..
    I've fabricated a new battery box it's going to be mounted under the gearbox..

    Hi Crispey
    Think I'll leave the mono shock for the next project... I'm just modifying the wiring at the moment, trying to keep it all tidy and neat..

    Have you tested out the brake yet? Is that 2 bolts holding battery box?

    I've not tested the brake but it will work fine, the battery will be held with 4 bolts, the brackets are just tacked in place for now it still needs tiding up, I'm just test fitting it before welding. The weight saving of the Shorai battery including the battery box is over half that of the standard battery.. image.jpeg image.jpeg
