I had a couple of hours this afternoon so made up the brake callipers and started working out how the old front brake lines went. I’ll make new lines next now I know how the old ones went.

As always: wonderful.

I still think you are making that motor car far to good to use on the road :-).

Nice thing to have!

Can’t help noticing, Public Relation Consultants. Have we been blighted so long!

Just back from holiday and then away for work so haven’t been in the workshop. Made a few more brake lines this afternoon, just a couple more to do and then on with the engine and gearbox.

That's the brake pipes made for now. Need to coat the fixings and steering idler before final tweaks. Glad they are finished. The final two I copied the originals and were a little tricky.

Got the engine and gearbox out and onto the engine stand. I didn’t have long enough 7/16” bolts so had to tap some from other bolts in my pile. I also need to get a engine hoist. Turns out for some reason it has the late big valve head fitted.
