Roadster Progress

Today I got finished with the brakes. 


The first picture is the service brake and emergency brake cross shafts and arms installed  with the brake rods. 


The next picture is the brake rods going to the rear wheels, one is service brake and the other rod is emergency brake. You can also see the  brake return springs attached to the rods.


Third picture is the battery installed in the car and the pedals and linkage around it. As you can see there is a lot there and that is why I waited to get the body together before I put the running gear in or I would have had to try and rivet around  it all.   




The car didn't  have emergency brakes when I got it. Walt gave me a brake handle and I fabricated the bracket to attach it to the transmission and all the linkage to hook it up.  The next picture shows the linkage attaching the hand brake and the support for it. You can also see the brake light switch coming out of the crossmember on the drivers side.   




The last picture shows it all together with the exhaust system and radiator  in place.   Next I have to do some temporary wiring and fuel system so I can test drive it.
