Joe’s AP MK1 Gt40 build

I saw those. They're listed on Ebay as well as a Chinese knock off for 1/5th the cost. The only head ache I see with that route is the plumbing adapters to the Porsche quick connectors.

The more complexity you add to a system, the more potential failure points you've added. Brakes are a mission-critical system.

100% agree, luckily its not for my brakes lol. I dont know how else to complete the loop on my slave cylinder though being it has a feed & return line.
Thanks

We had purchased DPI Brake Fluid Recirculators back in the late 90’s and the SCCA Tech inspectors (of which I became one) would not allow them in competition. They’d been used at that point for maybe 5 years in NASCAR on short-track cars. I think I probably still have a set.

I could be over thinking this and once I start building figure it out but I’ve never seen a slave cylinder with a return line. What other options could I have Other than blocking it off? There would be no other way to cycle it back to master cylinder.
thanks

Hi Joe welcome to GT40s. I ordered the RCR deluxe kit in March expected delivery is Oct-Nov. It's going to be a long wait! I also ordered a 427 Borla stack injected 575 HP motor from Prestige Motors, should be getting it in June/July. My ZF gearbox arrived last week. Good Luck with your build. I have been doing a bit of research myself so I can hit the ground running when the GT gets here. My email is: vpapa57 at optonline.net we can exchange information.

I’ll have to ponder this for a while, but at first blush, I don’t see a problem with blocking it off as long as you have a bleeder valve. The real beauty of the return system is that you always have a cooler charge of fluid in the slave and it is self bleeding as it recirculates fluid.

Chassis is looking good, Chris did a great job! How deep is that Aeromotive pump? is that also a swirl tank or just the packaging?
If you are looking for a scissor lift, I found that Amgo makes a decent lift model MR06 might work out well.

Pump can work with tank depth of 6-10”,the foam is cut to fit height needed. No swirl tank Going from pump direct to motor.this pump eliminates the need of swirl tank. I’m set on another 4 post,I like them the best.
