Here's a close up:



You can probably see why I want them hidden now

Starting to find some time to work on my build again now.
Managed to finish off the brake lines over the last few days:

Hi Skov. Please can you answer these questions

Where did you get your brake hoses from?

What have you installed after the t piece in the brake line above the master cylinder?

Also where did you get your hydraulic switch from? are you using part smd426?

[skov]

Thanks TT. I'm quite happy with how it turned out, just worried it's going to p!ss brake fluid everywhere when I fill it up

Hi David, I had a feeling someone would ask about that bit after the T-piece in the rear line. It's a rear brake reduction/bias valve from a Ford Mondeo (Ford part# 1113275).
The donor one was a bit awkward/cumbersome to use, so I junked it for the Ford one as it's nice and small and simple.
I know the Mondeo weighs twice what the roadster will, but it has two fitted - one for each rear brake, so I figured a single one for both rear brakes would be about right

I got the brake light switch from ebay, here's the details:



And finally, the flexi lines came from Furore. I was very impressed with their service; they were custom made to my specifications and arrived next day! Very reasonable at £15 per line too.

I see you've decided to use new mx-5 track rod ends. How's the clearance with the wishbone and steering boot now? And also may I ask, where did you get your extensions from? I'm waiting on a pair from NTS but I don't seem to be very lucky at being able to get hold of Nathan.
