How have you attached them at the bottom there? Can't quite see. And also, do you have any advise on the front brake line length and positioning? I take it you can use the standard mx5 rear pipes? I'll have to dig them out, think they are still attached to the car!

Hey Chris,
There's an M10 bolt at the bottom that I've used. I think it holds the brake calliper on.
I'll try to get some better pics when they're done.

I didn't bother using the MX5 brake flexis as they were looking a bit beyond their best, so no idea if the rear ones will fit or not.

My front ones are 400mm long with an M10x1 female swivel with 15 degree bend at one end and a straight 10mm banjo at the other.
I'd wait to see if mine passes IVA before copying though as I have a slight concern about them passing...

One thing to be aware of with jap pipe fittings is that the threads are usually all the way to the bottom and have op 2 on the pipe not like normal 10x1mm fittings with a few threads missing at the bottom and of course only op1.

(never could remember what was convex or concave)

Borrowed a sound meter from work this weekend to check my exhaust noise.
Even with the dB killer thing in my end can I'm still 6dB too loud!
