No offence Big willy...

But I think not...

Everything else has been done perfect... The rest will be perfect... something will be found that looks great...

Also I think tieing your brake lines to the shock absorber with a cable tie might not meet rego requirements :lol: :lol: . Still man looking the goods, so envious that your getting there so quickly. Still hopefully I will see you on the road soonish...If you don't mind me asking where did you get the lines and ballpark how much. I think the BF Goodrich items I have might get pinged because they have no reference to AS.

gesus.. its blokes like you that make me sick...
always raising the ****** bar, its enough to make you throw in the towel before it starts
kick ass work.

I think that you should have put only one braided line per wheel and run some hard line with a tee between the two inlets on the caliper. Pig tail the line to make it fit.
You can buy nice perforated stainless steel, polished at most steel places. I have no idea on cost. Even places that do truck mufflers might be able to find some laying about.

Well the driveshafts still have to go off & get Hardened for starters..

There are also little bits & peices that I want to be changed over...

Now have to get a new oil catchcan made up :cry: as the one i have... NO longer fits...

That also means I need a new Radiator Overflow made up...

There is a little bit of wiring to do.. shouldn't take long thou...

The only thing that may hold me back now is cash... But we will see.....

Then its time for a drive around... & then time to sort out Suspension... Sitting awefully high at the moment...

Whens your car going to be back on the road Grant... We will need anouther small Dyno day soon...
