The updates have been slow, but this is a good thing. The race team that I belong to has our final race of the year at Buttonwillow, so I took some time off for a track day, and numerous evenings prepping our race car for the race on the first weekend of Dec. We've added Bill Caswell to the team as our 4th driver, and we are in the running to be in the national standings if we do well. To keep momentum on the 912, I did a bunch of small jobs that included getting the brakes off to be rebuilt and I started to rebuild the pedal assembly.
Here's the brake assembly, pistons rusted in place.
Some pics of the pedal assembly, ready to be rebuilt.
Here is the culprit of all this rust. Natural fiber insulation. It's like driving around with wet towels in your car for 44 year. I think once it gets wet, it never dries. So yeah, this stuff was soaked when I pulled it out.
