Did you have to drill into the chassis for the servo mount?

As for the master cylinders, I would take measurements, transfer on some scrap material and drill holes into the scrap material. if your holes line up with the scrap and the footprint of the master cylinder, take the scrap and transfer punch and mark the chassis. Done.

I did not have to drill the chassis for the servo mount. The FG servo mount has exactly the same footprint as the FG radio box.

I like you idea, it looks like some of the unused chassis holes line up on the master cylinder, will check tomorrow and report back.

First break in this whole build. Master cylinders match predrilled chassis holes!!!

Bulk of the work is done. Tubing, bleeding, servo connecting and routing of wires and it should be good to go.

Are you going to use metal uprights in the rear for the wheels?

For now, no, in the future, yes. They don't seem to interfere with the normal function. The only issue currently is they are extremely close to the bleeder screw.

I know what you mean. Yes, I got a radio tray from Germany but did not need it. I got the servo mount from there too, not sure if DDM has it in stock but I know they carry it. I did buy two additional 90 degree fittings from Germany for the rear, I think DDM was out of those, come to think of it.

I ended up replacing the engine brace with an alloy version. Not necessary but while I was in there.

Cool. All good info can't wait to see your car finished. Gotta pay a couple of things off beforehand and than save up. Can't wait to start.
 
I'm wondering if a mod can change the title of this thread so people can easily find the info.
