Well well well, I did fix my brakes. I basically just bypassed that cylinder junction. They worked well enough for autocross the following week. I decided to split the brake job in to two video so part 1 is ready. And here are a couple photos as a reward for clicking the thread. Will have a few more videos coming this fall, I'm just a little slow getting to them.

Enjoyed watching your video, left a comment and a like... but man so many thoughts...
I think you can get a generic brake line and I actually have a brake line bendy thing tool I can send ya to try out if you want to try out making a whole new line.
FYI, of all my videos the DIY has by far the most clicks, so maybe a brake line DIY video could bring more views your waySimon

Some day I'll redo my redo but would want to refresh the entire system at that time.

Got some new goodies and made a video about it. Also here are some pictures to go along with it. Don't expect any progress for a little bit, I have all winter to do this.

Hey some r3v content... Attempted to make a carbon fiber gas door. You can see it here in both photo and video form.
Dirty gas door to start but cleaned up nicely.
Built a flange for it and did my first layers with Partall Paste and PVA to make an easy to release surface for the fiberglass mold.
Layered on some gel coat to be the surface of the mold.
Couple layers of chopped strand mat and a couple of continuous strand mat. The chopped is so much easier to work with but take more layers to build up to the thickness of the continuous strand.
Good until this part and then I started to rush. Couldn't get the extra modeling clay off so I thought a little sanding would knock it loose. Then I started messing up the surface. So eventually I sanded that back smooth but the clay was still there. Wet the mold off to get any dust off and then added some PVA but didn't let it dry long enough before putting down the carbon fiber resin.
Well the clay did eventually come off with the carbon fiber part. Need to figure out how to get more smooth resin. It was thicker on the back side which was the top side in the mold. Ready for attempt two.
