Don’t forget a bit of tube/rubber pipe to stop the brake pipe rubbing on the axle as It moves within the tie wraps

There are tie wraps with the clip already moulded into it(like genuine)
Off to have a look
also is that flexi pipe long enough if that axle drops lower?

Arse! Brakes bled, bolts torqued up and took it for a spin- not idling properly!
Runs and starts ok but when you rev it the engine slows right down and nearly stops, sometimes picks up but sometimes stalls!
Makes no sense- haven’t touched anything on the engine at all! Unless I disturbed something around fuel tank- breather hose maybe? It still does it with the fuel cap off though?! Any ideas??

If you Rev it up & it dies it’s fuel related.
Either sucking in air or lift pump failing.
Sedimenters are pretty notorious for being a PITA as they age .... cheap enough new though... failing that, then as post #127 - LP has failed coincidentally
I'd see how full your fuel filter is - half full means the LP is kaput.....
Nice to see you are dealing with the rust

Just run some new plastic pipe in then
I recently did some of these jobs.
I used NRC9246 for the brake pipes, they are the ones used for the axle breather pipe and are sligtly loose on 3/16 brake pipe but not too bad with a little squeeze.
The wires you found are for pad wear sensors

Pad wear sensors makes sense, although the wires only went to one side! Plus I don’t think I’ve got a pad warning light..?
Anyway got underneath and had a prod- found this eventually!
So that’d be the pipe I caught when undoing the upper link nuts...
Surprisingly enough it wasn’t leaking diesel though. Rest of the sedimenter is seized and rusted up so going to tackle that another day. Meanwhile the fuel pipe snapped when undoing the union, so I’m going to replace the end section and put a new union on, that should sort it.
The union looked like this when I got it off...
Nice! I would replace the entire back-to-front pipe but can’t find one. Rest of pipe is fine so just doing last metal section should be OK I reckon.

Sorted it! Part ESR163 is obsolete (despite being listed as available to order on some websites...) so went a hydraulic hose place and got one made up. Somewhat over engineered but it runs great now. Back end feels much tighter too.
Just the front end to do now...
