Morning David, found the information for the \'brake fluid\' in the clutch master cylinder, it is a silicone brake & clutch fluid developed for dependable use by the military in the most extreme environments and was recommended to me for use with classic vehicles..... hmm so I gave it a trial and had no issues with it and here we are now.

Thanks Cliff. Looks good stuff. And it seems it will mix with traces of the old.
I\'ve always bled the brakes and clutch every 2/3 years to stop water absorption and more importantly corrosion in the back of the caliper pistons. This stuff says no need to do that again.....Hmm.....Info saved thanks.

Hi David, as I say, had no issues with this and thought to myself use the later technology to make a reliable improvement. Cliff

Gravity:rolleyes:

captainbizzaro · July 31, 2010, 08:43:47 AM

Ha, well yeah I guess when the car is not in motion then gravity is on it\'s side. My clamp was missing too so it\'s sporting a nice tasty Lidl\'s ratchet strap now. Quality.

Battery is held down by the proper bracket. When foto was taken, the bracket was being colour co-ordinated to match (white).
Got it give it to you guys - don\'t miss much.

Okay for those who haven\'t already noticed, the battery shelf has also been colour coded white.

When I was a kid my brother & I borrowed the battery from the old man\'s Rover SD1 (v8), we used for some hair-brained scheme, returned it and no-one new a thing until it came off the tray, hit the fan and wrecked everything and anything that got in the way! At least now on my RX7 I have a quality bungee strap to retain the battery.

captainbizzaro · July 31, 2010, 12:50:14 PM

Aaah I just upgraded from a bungee.
I\'m a bit jealous now Cliff-not sure paint takes to webbing though so might have to rock the blue on gold look for the foreseeable future. I did go and buy a bracket from RXMotors but managed to lose it on the drive home.:Hammer

CHC (RIP) · August 01, 2010, 10:12:25 PM

I take it you fitted it and something wasn\'t tight enough?
Will keep alook out, if come across one I\'ll let you know.

Well if u wanna make your bungee straps look like a factory fitment,wrap them in insulation tape,it\'s amazing what colours u can get now:p
