Syncro woes

Hi Scot and All, here is another example why the site can be quiet from time to time...took me almost 4 days on and off to fit the E30 BMW brake booster....in the end when all was together i could not find the cable for the fluid reservoir , had buried it under all the stuff so had to take it apart once more.
Does it work ? Taking it out on to our quiet road and braking like normal every loose item in the cab came flying into the front ending up between my feet and under the wind screen...
So all good but a real s... job

Wow,

Thanks for the advice Hart.

Did you have to cut out any metalwork to get it to fit?

Any photos of the process?

Great to hear it worked so well.

Big red is back on the road again!

Cheers,

Skot

Scot,  from start my intentions were not to cut into anything which were put in by the factory, especially in the front section. In retro, very little would have been cut or bashed with a very big hammer, but one doesnt know until the unit goes in. As the booster is fitted onto a cast alu subframe and the frame is fitted into the car structure, all i did was, elongating the 4 holes in the subframe in order to slide it some 5 mm south taking the booster with it. This way i got it in.
It took me ages to get all this done partly because i am in way disabled as i  can not oversee the sequence of jobs, iow , i instal the subframe , all done , just to find out i should have fitted the booster to subframe first, this brain flaw has followed me through live. Maybe, and because the pension being yery mean, l now can register with the NDIS ? 
Next job is getting the w/screen out as rust is showing.
Btw do not rely on the booster test as is pressing the pedal and starting the engine than watching for the pedal going down a bit further. Mine did that even when i had zero braking .

Awesome work Hart.

I thought there was a requirement to cut and weld.

Good to see it was just drilling and pushing and yelling and swearing :)

Great work Hart, sounds like a good improvement over stock.

Does sound like a painful job, but I guess worth the effort to get it in.
