Finished fitting the 4 rear braided hoses amd painted calipers black. Just the fronts to do.

Continued tonight with the rear lines. All bled up both sides.

Well thanks for the help everyone. I might have found another bonnet elsewhere

Thanks Saint. I was hoping the answer wouldn’t be that. I shall not risk it then. The search continues :)

Hi all, I did have a look through various threads so I'm almost 100% sure but were there only 2 green paint codes for the P38. Epsom 961 Metallic Coniston 637? Non metallic I've found a bonnet in good condition but the seller doesn't know what colour it is. I was hoping to ask if it was...

Congratulations :)

I’ve begun to sort the brakes out with the braided line. NS rear first and paint the caliper at the same time. I was going to do the over axle lines as well but when I started to undo the nut the line started to twist. I can’t find my flair tool so until I can I won’t be changing them just incase.

It never ends does it

Liking the idea of arch extensions and spacing it out a bit. Proper little monster now :)

Braided lines arrived today with black caliper paint.

It’s getting there. Still a bit of a shed in places. I just don’t take pictures of those bits.

Pipe in place.

So this morning I swapped out the leaking PS pipe. New rad clips and banjo dowty washers at the same time. Refilled with dexron 3 atf and checked for leaks after bleeding the system. Point to note. Mine had early spec pipes with only one flexi. Somehow I ended up with a 97 on pipe with 2 flexi...

Hoping to be the end of the drips on the carpet.

Another busy weekend sealing the pollen filter housings and everything else in sight. Lots of crap cleaned out and new foam fitted to the scuttle at the same time.

I also keep my head gaskets in a white room with really bright lights mounted and an angle :D

Sorry Wammers maybe I haven't explained this well enough. Please see picture of where mine was leaking as described. That is where the front of the HG physically ends as I'm sure you know. Right below the thermostat housing. :) Sorry for the pictures. I pinched them off tinterwebs.

So not as much progress this weekend as hoped. Still bumper reinstalled and not rubbing on the tailgate. Rub strips fitted. Still the leak around the pollen filters, pick up the leather and PS pipe to change.

I certainly hope not mate but that is exactly what happened to mine. Changed all the above mentioned and it was still leaking. Had a new rad too etc. Couldn’t believe it when I found it and because of where it was it looked like thermostat housing.
