I stole a couple of hours this evening. It was quite nice to do a couple of quick jobs where nothing went wrong. I managed to bolt the brake line running to the rear of the car to the footlwell. The route was so obvious that it was a 'no-brainer' to drill out a few rivets and make more use of the same holes.
It's very difficult to get these pipes absolutely perfect but I think that is tidy enough. I also bolted the master cylinders in-place. I had to cut-down an allen key to be able to tighten the top-bolts. I hadn't thought through the possible problems with cap-head bolts. The pistons also needed to be cut to length. Oh well, they look the part now.
Finally. I trial fitted the powdercoated engine mounts.You can also see the brake line heading down the tunnel. It was nice to walk away from the car with nothing having been a problem. I'd like more 'garage-time' like this.
