24. SLAVERY

In the interests of being able to quickly arrest unintended forward progress I decided to upgrade to hydraulic anchors both front and rear.
The front we've already discussed but the drum rear is a very different kettle of fish.
Originally Mr Honda had fitted a rod operated drum actuated through a crossover shaft.That crossover shaft got deleted a while ago thus the move to hydraulics.
The master cylinder is already adapted so on to the slave cylinder which was originally meant for a Toyota clutch.
Decided to drill a couple of holes & bolt it to the drum backing plate.
It's a little big so in an effort to hide it in plain sight I wound up filing the part numbers off then polishing it to match the, now floating, torque arm.
