kwalker705 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 So started fitting brake lines, I wanted these to look right, not a fan of the nasty standard copper pipe, looks crap. Braided just is not practical to run complete front to back. S I came up with this [/Quote] and what exactly is "This" ?? reffering to the pipes specifically.

neilthenut Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 and what exactly is "This" ?? reffering to the pipes specifically. It is my brake lines, not sure i want to share my secrete with you all! Simple, copper brake pipe, straighten, so it's perfectly straight, I hate wiggly brake pipe, then electrical heat shrink wrap. How's that? Looks a lot better than copper don't ya think? Rubbish update....lol Thanks Jamie. Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilthenut Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Shots of the inter cooler, and radiator. They sit together, although there are separate units- The boost pipe routing, although not bad isn't perfect, what I so single turbo, who'll lop these of and have them redirected for better flow and easy of pipe, but will do for now happily The oem Toyota hose fits to the rad perfectly, top hose will be the challenging one, but not a massive problem, but require a filler cap, af supra has cap in radiator, and the cosworth has a header tank.

neilthenut Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 So, started fixing boot panels in, nothing special, drill and pop rivets. All so finished off the hydro handbrake, which involved making a bar with threaded ends to connect the master cylinder and the level. So long tube, chopped it to length Nut welded on, this shows it partly cleaned up, Adding male threaded end Welded on, shown with lock nut on Fitted up, well just need to get a bolt and replace the screw driver So, car is now on to 3rd grinder, fed up of it chewing power tools So first up tomorrow is a tidy up, things every where, and doing my nut in.
