Fuel lines in

Just a small update about the fuel lines. At first I was going to run 8mm feed and 6mm return lines but was advised by tiger owners to run both lines at 8mm. I popped down a local plumbing shop and picked ut a few metres (only 90p per metre). I decided to to run the fuel lines at the bottom of the tunnel saving the top for the wiring loom. The 8mm pipe was fairly easy to bend but had to watch out for the pipe collapsing unlike the brake pipe. Before I clipped it to the chassis I wrapped spiral wrap around the fuel lines just incase over time they moved and rub on the chassis (also did the brake pipe while I was at it). I used 8mm nylon p-clips along the tunnel and then rubber lined s/steel p-clips at the rear end where I felt more support was needed. When both pipes were finished I was suprised how stiff and secure they ended up.

First fuel pipe done

Both secured

Next job is the suspension and steering. Just waiting for the parts from Tiger. Fingers crossed they wont take long.

Brakes lines done

Managed to get some time together to finish the brake lines. I used the ready made up automec brake line kit from tiger. Whilst looking at other people builds I noticed that not all people used a brake compensator, but used some sort of adjustable brake bias valve. I decided to go with the idea and purchased a tilton adjustable valve. Not sure how I'm going to lock it off yet for the IVA test.

Took me a while to figure out which route would be best for the brake lines at the front. Hopefully the route I used will be fine. I simply bent the copper pipe by hand around the chassis and used the automec brake clips to secure it. These clips where perfect for the job and real simple to put it. Just drilled a 6mm hole, pushed the plug into it, then the clip itself into the plug. They give a real secure hold of the brake pipe, would recommend these to all builders.

Below are some photo's of the build so far. Will be popping up to Tiger soon to pick up the suspension, steering and fuel tank etc.
