I changed my mind again, like many times during this project. I decided to remove the brake pressure difference warning device and route the lines straight from master to caliper, the master cilinder I have now has 3 outlets were the original has only 2. The pressure difference device is not a pressure limiter/brake bias valve for the rear brakes, this car didn't have a brake bias valve installed. The 308GT4 should have one according to the workshop manual. Now with the bigger brakes I have I thought it would be wise to install one and I ordered one from www.compbrake.co.uk . I checked how the valve was build up and thought the lower port would be the inlet. I was wrong though and in the picture it is connected the wrong way. The knob can be reached through the battery cover.
I used the original brakeline that goes from front to back and made all the others new from cunnifer (copper/nickel) but felt a little unconfident. The original steel line I had to straighten in some places and bent in others and you can bent them only like 5 times before they break and it is 30 years old. And though cunnifer is good, steel is better but to tough to make flares with the simple tool I have. Then I found a german ebay seller that sells ready made steel lines in a lot of lengths and I ordered all the lines I need, 14, that includes the 4 lines on each caliper that connect the caliper halves and the 4 short lines from flex line to caliper. When they arrive I can finally fill and bleed the brake system. I ordered a new vacuum servo hose from superformance but unfortunately they don't sell these anymore.
With the new vents in the front hood there would be water leaks to the battery so I made a new aluminium front trunk tray. This gives also more room for airflow at the back of the radiator
But changed my mind again, I want to be able to carry a spare wheel sometime maybe for a long trip so I just converted the original tray. For a spare to insert the alu part needs to be unbolted though.
I am planning the side air inlets on the car to bring air to the intercoolers so the original oilcooler would be sitting there without much air flowing to it. I bought an aftermarket oil cooler with the intention to mount it to the rear of the car behind the exhaust cans, there is room now with the 2 smaller cans on top of each other.
Whenever I have some spare time I am straightening the body, a lot of hard work sanding by hand. The black is guide paint.
