Rosco's haynes Build

[twinturbo]

Some very tidy work going on

The first engine start on any car is always a pinical moment.

Looking spot on like normal.
One thing I will mention is how your brake t's attach. Very early on with IVAs AshG on here (I think) failed from not having the t bolted through the rail.
It may be worth while replacing the riveted brackets with bolts instead.
Or at least have a search /ask on LB if anyone has recently been picked up on it.

Also the 8mm outlet on the corsa header tank is fragile. I managed to snap mine off when doing up the jubilee clip. At least your using the spring clips.

Ok thanks for that, do you think bolt the tags on with two nutserts?

Ok I will be carful with the tank then

Cheers for the input

Just had a search and ash had used a nutsert and failed because of no locking device, I just think bolting all the way through looks rubbish

Yeah I agree, rivets look much neater.
It may have been a teething stage. I've never heard it again but thought it was worth a mention.

Yeah that's cool cheers, I've rang the dvla today and managed to speak to a tech chap and he said it will be ok, they just don't like anything that could vibrate etc, I've upped the rivet size just to be sure

Right, got my brake lines done today, I no you can make them up your self but these are properly crimped and look a bit more factory I felt,



Also got a coat of black on the rear calipers so they match the fronts
