the next lyka kit will be the brake calipers and the brake pipes. the material has been ordered for these.

this kit originally contained the master cylinder but Steve will be using a different cylinder on the new lykas. we have these on order and as soon as they arrive we will sort out any modifications needed to the mating parts and these will be moved back a kit.

lyka boilers will soon be tested and will be available soon Cool

the control model is now has a fully working brake system.

the next kit will contain the just calipers and the brake pipes up to the master cylinder. as we are using a new master cylinder this time round we have had to prove it out before ordering them in at full quantity.

its all fitted and working and the kit should go out this week. the master cylinder will be included in the next kit Cool

the caliper kit left STW yesterday.

the next kit will be the master-cylinder, water tanks and fuel tank. we already have the water tanks on the control model. these are original spec items but Steve is making a few last minute improvements for this run of cars...

most parts and materials are now in for this kit. all the tanks are made and most bits are machined. just a couple of bits to do such as the fuel filler cap.
