Re: Project "Leon "

More work from this last weekend.

Got my front rotors back from POL. They drilled and slotted them for $75.00. I got the rotors free from a friend at work. Then I painted them to match the rear rotors. Next, sand, pack bearings, and install. What do you think about my awesome paint rack?

Finished up the brake lines on the rear. First time using a bender and a flaring tool. We will see if I did them right when it comes time to bleed. I used a hose from an 88 4runner that I found at NAPA (an hour of digging through boxes) that had a 1/4" in and (2) 3/16" out with a bolt hole. Made a simple bracket out of some steel I had laying around for it to mount to on the reared, and cut a 3" tab in the cross member for the input side. Simply threads in with a 5/8 18 nut... I like how it turned out.

Here is the part number if you are looking for something similar.

Also got my tank painted and installed. It's a brothers 17gal (I think). Mounted up pretty easily. Looks cool to me. I welded in a 3/16 return line for my LS. It was kind of a rigged event. Couple of parts from the local ace, but It works. You can Kind of see it in the lower left corner of the tank. It uses a 3/16 hose barb to 1/8" NPT into a 1/8" street elbow, and then an 1/8" steel reducer that I cut in half and then welded to the tank.
