Nice one John, you must be well chuffed, car looks to be really coming together now

What plans do you have for paint?
Do you have a goal for completion?

John,

I see you've done a dual circuit brake conversion. Where did you get your parts from and how much did they cost?

The dual cyl. came from VW Heritage and with res. and correct blue hose I think it was about £80. It is the better ATE version but you have to drill the flange holes because they come threaded. You also need to plug off one outlet with an M10x1 fitting. The rubber boot does'nt quite fit right but its OK.

Can anyone comment on the acoustic foam used for sound proofing?

Wow, talk about better than new !

Makes mine look like I did it with superglue and blue tack

Great work.

Does anyone know what and where you buy this acoustic foam from? Does it soak up the oil? Does it rot like the old foam did? Does it stay glued in place. Congrats on shedding the rotisserie, I know that was a big day.

Hi John,

This is quite an old thread, is your car finished yet? Got any pictures to show us?
