My name's Matt Urch and I own and run Urchfab welding and fabrication.
I specialise in custom automotive fabrication from building roll cages to complete one off builds. I built the worlds most unique and oldest drift car known as 'The Drift Rod' which can be found on my channel.
So if you're into grinding, welding, fabricating, etc, you're in the right place!

[@mikeopenshaw9128]

That welding on the "turntable" - a joy to watch - nice job Matt - thanks for sharing!

[@cristian6766]

Oh my God Matt, those are some perfect welds! Can't believe it, those are the stuff of dreams! All the best!

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

No no, he is the fabrication Stig. Some say he makes the occasional video, and that he made a roll cage entirely by hand, all we know is, he's the engineering Stig.

[@Urchfab]

Lol

[@tompirozek4490]

You may already know this trick Mat but if you put a jubliee clip around the handle and trigger on your cordless you can use the screw as fine adjustment instead of wedging something heavy against the trigger

[@moonface978]

Welding par excellence 🥇

[@jakobrebeki]

love the way you hooked the drill up to a rotary table to weld evenly. proper job....

[@armyscunny22]

another great video lad not watched you for a while loving the new shed and setup still my best part is the intro

[@geoham11]

Another excellent video with a great prize draw 👍

[@chucksterock]

Like a proper race car now! I remember watching your track day issues and from my karting experience my first thought was brake bias. I'm glad to see it was a simple solution.

[@Urchfab]

Cheers Chuck.

[@tomscustomshop]

The drive was fantastic. Other than no rain, you needed a bucket of water chucked at you for real viewing accuracy

[@mikediamond257]

LOVING the content. Watching you design, make, install is fascinating to say the least

[@100Jeanluc]

Hi Matt, still love your idea of hooking up a battery drill to a dividing plate for a perfect weld. Simple and so effective. Kudos to you mate.

Great driving and sound effects, the gear changes looked well timed ...... obviously things are getting better

[@Urchfab]

Thanks 👍

[@ronald1968]

Well, considering that the master cylinder is held on with 2 m8 bolts, the bracket could be deemed over engineered..... however, rather that than have it fail!!...... Nice job!

[@rennkafer13]

Miatas are known for having a somewhat spongy firewall, hence the availability of master cylinder braces for track cars. I'd imagine that plate definitely makes a difference in that regard as well.

[@kittonsmitton]

What a fantastic project turned out beautifully, Matt you are one talented bloke! Kudos Mate.

[@Urchfab]

Thanks mate, I am happy with it.

[@ernieleithes6545]

Great bit of fab work matt the machines you have now certainly make for nice jobs think the tyres and camber need your attention next.

[@kevinlyon9501]

Sweet little fix, who doesn't love a bit of rotisserie welding. 😁

[@finlay230]

Propper good install, great vid as always 👌

[@geoffhalstead1811]

The best thing you did getting rid of the servo👏👍 Cannot imagine when I raced at Kyalami F1 circuit, in the ‘70s, my car having servo brakes when braking hard for Crowthorne Corner at the end of that mile long straight. As you so rightly said, servos kill all feel you have as I’ve discovered with my moderns. My ‘67 Morris Minor just shows that up big time, and you certainly know how much leg muscle and pressure you need to apply😮🤗 Having become so used to just feathering modern servo brakes to slow down, the first time I drove the Minor I thought the brakes had failed, then muscle memory from all those years back kicked in and realised I just needed to give the pedal some welly. Brought back such memories😂

[@Urchfab]

I have the opposite problem, when I get back in the Vito van after driving the escort I nearly fly through the windscreen. Cheers Geoff

[@stevensmith3069]

[@builtbybagsy]

Those welds👌

[@bobstacey9311]

Beautiful welding, looks too good to be a manual weld work of art

[@1one3_Racing]

Changing the pivot point is going to change the piston throw. I'd work up to full braking slowly to make sure you don't run out of pedal before you fully close the piston.

[@Urchfab]

The pedal is still right near the top of the stroke so there's no issues of that, there's less overall pedal travel than there was with the servo.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great video. Awesome design and fab. Mahalo for sharing!🙁🐒

[@beezo2560]

12:40 you making vroom vroom noises and speed shifting had me cracking up. And the rotisserie welding station is so cool.

[@grahamparr3933]

Surprised me, I did not think he had a sense of humour, has he ever smiled?

[@Urchfab]

Only in secret.

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

Nice ! You should be able to feel the heat from the brake pads through the brake pedal now 🤣

[@user-oj4xh8cg2l]

if I may, the brake balancer actually works the opposite as you've described : just think of it in terms of total pressure, the pedal sets a total pressure A+B into the system, which applies everywhere until it hits something (e.g. front calipers pistons get A+B without obstruction since not on the balancer circuit), when it hits the balancer the springed faucet needs to be overcome by a pressure A until it opens, so only pressure B goes to the rear caliper. The more you press on the spring, the less pressure you get to the rear (if no pressure from the spring, A=0 the faucet opens as soon as the pedal is depressed and the same braking pressure is apply front and rear).

[@Urchfab]

The valve doesn't open or close, the fluid can pass through at all times.

[@user-oj4xh8cg2l]

@@Urchfab if you say so... if that was the case, the pressure would be the same on both sides.

[@frogdxb5648]

Very clever 👏

[@pasti67]

Who doesn't love a pretty weld!!

[@slangster]

You have to be proud of this car, right?! It's so cool!

[@Urchfab]

I am. Cheers

[@janeblogs324]

I'll mention it again, build a strut tower to master brace. I'm sure your firewall is flexing like most. Get a friend to hit the brakes and watch the master move 10mm (or film it)

[@Urchfab]

I've braced it to the cage from the inside so there's no way it can flex there.

[@billsheehy1660]

Nobody on KZbin can weld anywhere close to you. You really are a brilliant engineer. Thanks for the content.

[@Urchfab]

I don't think that's true but thanks.

[@peterbonnez]

Excellent -

[@Ed70Nova427]

Hey! Got my Hoodie and T-Shirt today! Feels like good quality stuff and looks freakin great! MONGREL!! I really like how you got that turn table to turn at the perfect speed to do a continuous weld. It really looks great. I haven't been able to do that yet and I'm thinking to put a peddle on the floor to control the speed with my foot. I'm using a throwout bearing with it's sleeve sitting on top of a 1/4" rectangle steel plate, with a flywheel on top and a second throwout bearing without the sleeve on top of that. The plate is clamped to the edge of the bench and holds a bushing housing setup with an old starter drive welded to a shaft driven by an electric drill (cord type). A bolt goes up thru the plate and center of the bearing that has a washer holding center at bottom sleeve. The flywheel has a plate with a centering pipe welded to it facing down into the lower throwout bearing keeping it all centered and then the second throwout bearing with a washer on top that the bolt comes through and gets a nut that tightens it all down.. Crude setup, I just need to get the speeds down pat. The diameters of the project makes a difference as well so I am unable to just find the speed and set it. Thanks for this video.

[@Urchfab]

Thanks Ed, I appreciate the support. Sounds like some home built awesomeness! To set the speed just mark a flat piece similar thickness to the round part and mark a length say 50mm weld the flat piece and count in your head while you're welding, then mark the round piece with the same measurement and play with the speed until it matches your count. Hope that helps. Cheers mate.

[@Ed70Nova427]

@@Urchfab lol that's a great idea! I'm going to try that. Thank you again!

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

Nice one Matt! Your welding skills are absolutely awesome! I can't weld for toffee! :-O

[@bigbothoee8617]

How much stiffer isit ? I want to do it but don't want a dead leg after a drive lol

[@watahyahknow]

make sure theres at least some play between the push rod and the master cylinder , the release hole in the master cylinder for the diskbrakes is at the end of the travel and if you set it up too tight the diskbrakes might not release think those booster delete adapters might sell well , think you dont have to measure out a lot of mountingplates as the mounting is usually universal per brand , could sell them as an universal type (dril youre own mounting holes and cut to fit )

[@Urchfab]

Will do mate, I'm gonna knock up a few. Cheers

[@kevinellam6710]

KEEP UP THE GR88T STUFF !!! @ ... .. .

[@TalkTime4]

So the pin just sits inside the brake master?

[@anndivine9989]

Hi Matt you say the fluid presure forces the piston up to allow fluid through, doesn't that stop the presure returning, IE locking on the rear brakes.

[@SalvageMasterEssex]

No, it's just a small hydraulic cylinder acting against an adjustable spring, so fluid can just return to master cylinder when pedal is released. That's how it sounded to me anyway.

[@markosland9746]

I think in effect you've created an adjustable accumulator, so some of the pressure is used to compress the spring rather than apply the brakes. When you release the brakes it all flows back to the reservoir..........I think!!!

[@Urchfab]

The fluid can travel through the valve at all times so it doesn't open or close, some of the pressure is absorbed by the spring loaded piston taking it away from the rears.

I think you should have added the proportioning valve before delete the booster.

[@Urchfab]

I'm not sure what you mean?

[@tractorhead971]

Is fluid to the rear isolated from fluid to the front? Otherwise the pressure thingummy will affect the whole system 🤔
