[David S]

Well done David excellent build and looks fantastic is that ford imperial blue.

I also have been using your build blog for ideas and as a guide very detailed and helpful. i should start one really but to scared i will laughed at for all my botch jobs i have done.

Cheers. Yes it is Ford Imperial Blue. I intend to do a write up of the IVA experience and detail all the little jobs that needed doing to enable to car to pass, most of which could have been avoided with a factory build manual!!

I was pulled up on the lock nuts on the front flexible brake pipes being on the wrong side of the body.

 

The rear were correct though

 

The pipe must be secured to the bodywork and NOT against the union nut which was my mistake on the day.

(Fortunately fixable same day)

 

I.e. flexible Pipe -> body -> locknut -> union nut to copper pipe.

Not Flexible -> locknut -> body -> union nut.

 

I understood that the union nut was doing two jobs which is not correct so by changing it round each nut was only doing one job

each which is the correct way.

 

Hope you understood my explaination

 

Simon.
