Hurricane HM-2005 Build Thread

[double-rr]

Here is a sheet metal cover I made to shield the master cylinders and brake/clutch lines so the heat from the close proximity of the headers doesn't cook the fluid. The master cylinders on the new generation Hurricanes are mounted on the floor box along with the floor mounted pedals.

Here is a pix of the master cylinders/lines and header.


A pix of the shield made from aluminum. All "polished" up with scotch bright and WD40.


And a couple of pix of it installed.




Hopefully, this should eliminate any problems with the heat. I left it open in the front to connect the reservoir lines.

Russ, nice work. I love the floor mounted pedals on the HM 2xxx series cars.
It may be overkill, but I added some 1/4" foil backed self-adhesive insulation under my heat shields. I figured the alum heat shield could get pretty hot and radiate heat to the MCs and lines.
Keep posting - love the build thread.
