Awesome,

I’ll need to sort something out.

I’m thinking on using the r8 handbrake callipers.

[Lister79]

I believe Still Static are looking to produce a kit, so may be worth giving them a call.
Only difference is I think their kit has the 4 pot calliper front mounted and the handbrake up at the back. I’ve had to change my rear axle to enable the 4 pot position that I wanted.

I’m told that in order to get the correct handbrake cable angle it’s the Ferrari F430 handbrake callipers that you’ll need (ref [mention]ToiletTFSI [/mention]). I personally can’t confirm this though as I’m happy enough with how my current setup looks, so haven’t looked any further into it.

Perfect thanks for the info much appreciated.

[Marty998]

What made you go for a caddy maxi rear axle?

[Lister79]

I haven’t gone for a maxi axle, I’ve fit an early axle as they have a bolted stub axle. I needed the extra fixing points these have for my calliper mount.

Really detailed build and well documented. Very helpful to those looking to modify their own

[Lister79]

Thanks for the comment and for taking the time to look through my build. I’m pleased you find it useful, thanks again.

So it begins.......

Interior stripped out ready for when the new wiring goes in; also a good time to tidy up the additional looms that have been added over the last couple of year.

I had pre-wired it so I wouldn’t have to do this, but unfortunately to solve a couple of the start/stop fault codes (my van isn’t start/stop) I need an extra couple of wires so may as well start again. Plus I can now use the correct colour wires I removed from the donor loom.

You must be able to strip that in your sleep by now. Watching this with interest so keep it coming

Wow it looks scary when someone else is doing it
Been looking forward to this and will be keeping an eye on progress for as long as it takes

[mention]brooneye [/mention]hopefully this will be the last time the dash needs to come

[mention]Beaker2135 [/mention]I think it looks worse due to how the additional looms a lying, once everything is in the main loom it shouldn’t look so bad. It was scary removing the trims from the freshly trimmed dash though

Hopefully I won’t annoy people too much with the updates once I start my leave from work.

You won't annoy anyone with updates on this, most will be relieved it's not them.
I for one can't wait.

You won’t annoy me with updates either mate. I think it’s genuinely amazing that people are brave enough to undertake work like this. I know I’m not!

I hope it goes smoothly mate
