capabilities. Because we have to be very careful with our budget, we cannot afford to have to make something again 3 times. Hence the models in wood.<\/p>\n<p>We tried to integrate the whole with the handbrake, the brake balance regulator and the brake pressure limiter.<\/p>\n<p>For the milling work we have to thank again the Technical Institute Sint Paulus in Mol.<\/p>\n<p>Because this piece consists almost exclusively of 10mm thick AL7075 plate, we also did a test to cut it by water and we provided the holes in our own workshop, which was again a time-consuming activity with our fully manually operated turning and milling combination.<\/p>\n<p>We are satisfied with the result. Everything is perfectly within reach, but we have to shorten the handbrake lever a bit and provide it with an aesthetically pleasing handle.<\/p>\n<p>A little further back on the tunnel box we have folded an aluminum tray on which we put the critical switches at the front (start \/ stop, launch control and map sellect switch). Blindly accessible just next to the seat. A little more to the back are the switches for the fire extinguishing system. In principle, we could have made the aluminum tray a bit smaller, but now we still have some space left to put some things away such as the pressure sensor of the rear brakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned before, we weren&#8217;t really blown away by the original Sadev shift mechanism.
