Made up some brake pipes in AN -3 stainless braided teflon hose with Goodridge ends. Cut to length and trial fitted, think I'm going to go for banjo fittings at the master cylinder end and possibly at the feed to the 4 way t piece for a cleaner finish and easier maintenance in the future.

Mystery Panel
For a few days now I have been trying to work out where the passenger footwell panel fits, I have a panel with angled bends and just didn't seem to fit. Not shown in he build manual either. Came back to it this morning and managed to work out where it fits. Easy when you know how.
Will wait until I fit the dry sump oil tank before I fix it in to place.

Pedal Box Fitted
Installed the pedal box, used a template to position hole centres then cut with 38mm hole cutter. Fitted master cylinders with a 0.75" for the clutch, 0.70" rear brakes and 0.625" for the front brakes. Set the bias bar to the mid point. Bolted the pedal box to the chassis floor with M6 bolts and Nylocs.

Drivers Bulkhead
Fitted the drivers bulkhead today, modified the panel a little to accommodate the steering column bracket and the gear selector fixing. Secured in place with Tiger Seal and riveted with black rivets.
Fitting Engine Casings
Re fitted the engine casings this afternoon complete with new gaskets, stainless steel bolts and a few other shiny bits. Just waiting for the dry sump kit to arrive before I can fit the engine.

Unloading At Home
Unloaded the kit and positioned the chassis on the axle stands with a little help from friends.
Trial fitted the pedal box and all looks great.
