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.
