STOP!

Next on the agenda was the fitting of the brake pipes. The main pipe ran down the left hand inner sill along with the clutch pipe and air conditioning pipes. At the front, under the passenger footwell a brake bias switch was fitted. Copper piping was then passed through the left hand side of the firewall into the front boot compartment. The piping is then run along the top section of the boot and down to the servo units. I word of warning at this stage, the servo unit has to be juggled into place along with the front anti roll bar. It a matter of trial and error and sweat and swearing but it does fit. The piping from the servo to the front wheel arches pass parallel to the piping to the rear, but onto the front left wheel and the other pipe runs to the right wheel.

At the rear the pipe goes into the left front corner of the engine bay, one pipe runs round to the left hand side to the gearbox cradle and the other round to the right hand side of the cradle. The Stainless steel pipes are then connected between the copper pipe onto the rear calipers (when fitted).
