Where did you get your brake and fuel lines from? Are they delivered straight or do you have a special machine of something?

Hi all,
Iv'e kept low for a while after posting that thread regarding photos of NTS Engineerings MX5 build and sparked a heated debate regarding mounting the diff (sorry Nathan)....

I really appreciate all your comments good or bad (it's nice to be praised by you guys though as we are all in the same boat to speak)...
I've spent a lot of time on this forum searching through many posts to create my car so without knowing it a lot of you have helped in many ways...

Chris the brake and fuel lines are copper nickel and come in rolls of approx 7.5 mtrs. I basically straightened them by hand on a table before placing them in the car. I used a blupoint pipe bender to create the 90 degree bends in the 8mm fuel pipe and used one of the hand held pipe plier things for the brake lines.

Thanks Series Landy for your'e advice on the Aero Catches. I checked out your'e build quite some time ago and see you were using them and decided that's what I was going to use so thanks for the heads up...

Nathan if it wasn't for you and Andy we wouldn't be building a car at all. I persuaded the other guys here (Tony, Luke and Simon) to build a MX5 based car on the original SSC plans ( but to be honest I didn't realise at the time the car hadn't been built...LOL) Your'e carbon products look the muts nuts m8 but you need to have some time to youself and not worry about others... Glad to see you are back on the forum though.

Well it's nice to be back on here (thanks Handy Andy) and share what I have done.

Keep up the good work Johno.
