Must have been the same supplier as my lines as I had to make three new ones as they were not the right lengths

Not that much to report really as I’ve been away over the weekend, but having got home this afternoon I couldn’t keep out of the garage.
So handbrake shoes and drum fitted along with the new rear prop shaft and handbrake cable.

New one piece braided clutch pipe fitted and bled, I know its not the standard setup but some improvements are required. Plus I co@&ed up and scrapped the old pipes which would have cost £65 just to replace the top steel pipe then another £20 for the flexi hose and steel lower pipe. BRT Motorsport £38 delivered for one Quality piece of braided hose…. Job done!

Lower dash cleaned, painted and the outside polished with black wax which to be honest transformed it. Just make sure you wear some latex gloves when your using this stuff.

Vent flaps fitted with some stainless steel hindge pins / bolts from SP4x4. Plastered them in ceramic grease first and thread locked the tiny m4 dome nuts each side, there would be nothing worse than a loose flap now would there !
