Personal choice,run the front two together in two clips on the lower rail and split off up the two uprights as you have on the nearside,keep the switch pointed down as there is a chance air will get stuck in it if pointed up.

thanks flyerncle.

what's the minimum distance for the p-clips?

Hi,
Your brake line mock-up looks good to me. Personally, I preferred avoiding running the front line on the lower rail as much as I could, to avoid stones and debris projections. I might be too careful, but...

(My steering wheel, pedal box and master cylinders are on the left side ;) )

And yes, Flyerncle is right, your brake lines will be easier to bleed with the brake light switch pointing down, as there is no seat on it, and there will be a cavity (bubble trap) between the end of the thread of the switch and the bottom of the tee-piece... and bubble have a strange tendency to go upwards in a liquid :D

Hope this will help :)

Thanks voucht.

Can anyone recommend the best place to get a fuel tank? Hopefully as large as is feasible. Need to start saving up as i reckon thats the next thing to fit after i get the engine and gearbox back in.

Try Kev;);) ;)

one comment nothing to do with brake lines, your headlamp brackets look on the wide side, maybe ok with dominator style lights though

Definitely Kevin (K4KEV on this forum). He makes aluminium fuel tanks and I'm very happy with the one he did for me. A bit taller than the book's design, it is just perfect.

After a long break for exams and a holiday i've gotten back into my build.

Got the engine properly mounted and the wheels on so got to roll it out of the garage for the first time which was exciting! Took me ages to realise that the book rack extensions are wrong so i've had to get some new ones and still haven't sorted out my steering column as i'm still a bit unsure about how to extend it.





Next stop is fitting the fuel tank which K4EV is making for me now.

I do like a red blocked crossflow. Sound so cool on side drafts or bike carbs too. :cool:

haven't put the carbs back on but got a pair of twin 40 webers that it came with. should be very nice.
