It's fiddly, boring and time consuming. Poo. I'll sulk for s few days then get on with.

Thanks Rosco, it'd look even better if I had one of those superb looking battery trays you've made ;) :D

Does anyone have a spare mx5 throttle cable at all?

Lol, send me a drawing and i will see what i can do!

Well, exactly the same as yours assuming you have a standard floor pan? I was very impressed by it, much better than those welded ally jobbies all over eBay!

On the progress front I have now made the two front brake pipes and mounted a tee by the mc to accommodate a brake light switch. I'll get to work on the long front to rear pipe tomorrow.

ok i will drop you a u2u, as for your brake light switch, a few people have said it takes a bit of pressure on the pedal to get the lights on and end up swapping to an electrical switch on the pedal, just a thought

Ill be adding a manual switch at some point for this reason.

If I remember correctly grp1 and 2 should have a 5° angle upwards from rs14

The diagonal that connects to the rear most rail was longer than the plans. I can't remember my final measurement. I assembled all the other rails then cut the diagonal to suit.
