Ash, Why is it that 8 bulk head lock nuts are needed for the flexi hoses?
I can count one for each front brake where it connects to the chassis, then 2 for each rear wheel, one for the chassis, one for the upright?

Cheers mate?

HI Ash
Looking at the photo of the front wish bone in my experience the hole for the brake flex will need to be bigger. Its not to touch the body even with the rubber. You could bolt one end to the body panel keeping it a neater look.

Ash, your photo's are first class.

It's not often that a builder consistently takes clear photo's that show exactly what the photographer is trying to convey.
