It's taken me over two years but I finally got there. To be fair in between there has been a house move and lots of family stuff. But I've also found it quite a tricky task to do, and I've had to order three different sets of brake pipes from Westfield. They come as a set of 6, and can't be bought separately. That means if you mess one up, you have to buy the whole set again. Though at the price of £35 or so each set, it's not a big deal, at least when set against the total cost of the build. I suppose you could go down the route of buying your own pipes, bending and cutting them using one of the many pipe cutting and flanging kits on the market. But if I was competent enough to do that I would have done the job first time round with the original set of pipes.
In the end I ended up with two different pipe bending tools. That's because the brake and fuel pipes are such different diameters I couldn't find one tool which would do both. Still I now feel should I need to do the job again I would be able to do it in a fraction of the time it's taken me to do it so far. And, of course I now have a few spare pipes lying around.
If you read all the build blogs you'll see that no two people route the pipes in exactly the same direction. You can see the routes I've chosen in the accompanying photos.
Onwards and upwards to the wiring loom, which for the past few years I've kept in a cardboard box, and haven't dared look at. Luckily the connections have been labelled.
