Brake Booster Cover

[enigmas]

My coupe has a dual circuit brake booster fitted in the LHS of the boot on the PS directly opposite the battery. For some time I've considered making a cover for it but also utilizing the space as best I can. It's also been designed to accommodate some tools, vital equipment and to also allow access the mastercyl reservoir and the slave cyl bleed screw at the rear. (I'll post a picture of the end plate cover when the unit has been properly installed) The plywood cover will be painted black and also have an overcover stitched up by an upholsterer to match the battery cover.

This is what I came up with.










Note: There is room for a small brake fluid container within the brake fluid reservoir compartment. Currently the container is just sitting there, but it will have its own cradle screwed to the inside of the cover.

Very nice, bit I didn't see a place to put the "Start-ya-bastard". (Eazistart for the Southern Hemisphere).

If you look carfully you'll see a faint yellow colour underneath the plastic bag...that's a small aerosol of CRC Aerostart. Fortunately the engine is an easy starter (even with 11:1 compression, hot or cold) as it's fitted with a gear reduction starter motor from a Range Rover and it spins it over like a little 4 banger.

The only time I need to use the aerostart is on club runs, usually over nighters during cold winter morning starts on my friends' cars with B series engines. To be fair though, they're usually well out of tune!

Here's the cover/storage box virtually finished and only requiring an upholstered material cover to match the battery cover. The end plate has also been fitted and is readily removable if the slave cyl within requires maintenance/bleeding.
