Good stuff man! Using Nascar leftovers makes a hell of alot of sense to me vs. trying to invent your own wheel with lackluster aftermarket parts.

Ah hell - I am not on here for a few days, and you go and put more car porn on here!

Looking great!

The "cage" holds one end of the master and the pedal pulls the rod...No side load with this set-up that can happen with a push type master.

I will be running a 5 stage pump and yes I am doing the valve covers with the spring oilers.

Pretty impressive stuff

That Ed sounds like a smart guy. :stirthepot:

cage build
 
I have tons of pics of the cage construction, but they all seem to look the same after a while. Will try to pick and choose to give someone an idea of what is going on. Cage, when completed, will be NASA certified with a log book. I do not plan on going wheel to wheel racing, but you never know...I also have young kids, so I want to be as safe as possible.
