Thanks mark, don't worry you know I'm not camera shy

What's the reasoning for going all braided brake lines instead of hard pipe?
Any gains from it. Just interested that's all

The reason for this is that braided hose is stronger/more durable than solid pipe, it is flexible so is easier for working on the car and less likely to be damaged by sticks and stones but most importantly it'll be damned sexual to look at

That bit did cross my mind

Have you decided what colour covering your going to get on the braid?

No! That is an impossible question

Will search for inspiration but perhaps simply clear/colourless.

Kinda feeling black but seems a shame!

Dave said the most popular is clear and it does look hot!
was tempted to get a nice bright colour!

Blue, blue, blue...

can I be cheeky and ask how much the braided lines will be? if you'd rather not say that's fine

I would say around 150 to replace the lot. I played 101 for a bit for the rear and 2 complete lines for front from master to caliper with a join in the middle

Yeah we're estimating 150, but tbh I won't know til I've worked it out and spoke to Dave.

Mark L favours blue

Just ordered a big list of parts from the diamond geezers at Barry 4x4, at substantially less than I was quoted by Land Rover Parts Shop. Like £120 cheaper!

That will arrive Friday so it's a fun day in the workshop for me and Mark this Sunday

Pics to follow!

So it begins:

Very nice pair of refurbished chrome swivel balls, supposedly these don't break!



Very nice box of very nice bits, more pics Sunday:



And a pair of Ashcroft HD rear shafts (early type to suit 10 spline hubs)

Whats involved in swivel refurb juat the bearongs...or can pitting be taken out and re chromed?

Tell the truth these were excellent condition ones anyway, paid £100 for the privelege but no rust on the balls

The bases were rusty but rigged them up to my mates lathe to clean them up then painted them

You can rechrome them but I don't know anyone who is doing it

Hopefully the swivel ball saga will be over soon if the manufacturers buck their ideas up

Id rather pay double for items that don't break rather than having to keep buying new ones plus all the hardship.

Keep your eyes peeled for VGC chrome balls and either buy them or tell me!!

Don't need them, sell 'em

Jolly day tomorrow gents, will get some rusty stuff made shiny, some shiny stuff put together with other shiny stuff, some new stuff bolted to some rusty stuff, this, that, the other

Mark L is getting here for about 9, bacon sandwiches will ensue, and then, well, #### knows

...Then stand around gas bagging till about mid-day.

Standard.

"urm, we should probably do some work now"

Make sure those bacon sarnies have a poached egg and Tommy K on! Enjoy guys. Pity Southampton is 200+ miles away or I'd drop by.

Fried egg and HP up Norf my man

Got to be HP, you could use it to clean up the chrome too! :lol:
