I think that may be a better idea rather than just using a couple of washers. Luckily my neighbour is an alloy machinist, it just may cost a fair bit. Yep cup alternator

That looks pretty different again, you have a torque bolt, almost looks like a cross between the original mount and the one I posted. I wonder if the block mount is different to the originals. Do you know what this was from?

I probably won't get anywhere near the performance of the car anyways... ha

UPDATE: With the the rear brake lines away and waiting for these to come back I turned my attention to the couple of small jobs I needed to do on the engine (as once the lines are done it will be ready to go back in the bay). The engine was serviced with a new cambelt a few months back, the...

Running a Jenvey fuel rail to go with the ITB's wasn't an issue previously (when the line was under the car) should this make a difference really?

I am running full phase 1 fuel set-up (tank, pump etc) which means only the one line. Engine wise it is ITB's and mild cam's Sounds like a good idea Mitch, any support to the customer I am sure would be welcome. As you say you are available on the phone (which has been great, always polite and...

Do you advise a regulator? Proper amateur question but what does it actually do?

I wasn’t planning a fuel regulator but this is a very very neat job. Glad this routing will work. I will just need to check the length is there.... ooohhh errrr I noticed pretty much everybodies ran around the front of the shocks, but these simply won’t go. I must admit I was less fussed about...

I spotted this, but his is run in-front of the rear shock, rather than behind.

UPDATE: With above in mind I set to running the interior brake lines. I wanted to get these all marked up and taped before I run the fuel lines I will then do the same for the fuel lines and then drill and mount them all together. (images shown from the rear to the front) Rear (spare wheel...

UPDATE: Outstanding parts from Pro-line turned up yesterday along with some sweetners.... I could now look at finalising routing. I must say I am glad I am being OCD about this and checking everything rather than just going gung-ho at it. It seems the brake line saga continues slightly. I did...

FUEL LINE ROUTING So before I finalise where I route my brakelines across the bulkhead I need to decide where my fuel line will come into the engine bay and it would be great to hear any advice. I am running the fuel line through the interior (passenger side of exhaust tunnel) and it will then...

The bare minimum is going back in for ease, not for show and deffo knowhere near standard.

UPDATE: Managed to get a fair bit of time in on the car today. Again things seem to be moving slowly, even things like p-clipping the lines is a 4-stage gig, measure/mark - drill hole/clean up - paint/dry - p-clip/rivet but they are moving forward and with quite visual changes like today it...

UPDATE: So Mitch confirmed that there are separate lines to the calliper. He said you can run the lines either way around but it would be easier to run the straight fittings at the calliper end (I think he was being polite). So I popped out and just had a quick change around. Drivers side (all...

] I am indeed currently running the standard set-up. I thought these lines ran all the way to the callipers. But if not I do still have my Goodridge front lines. I ran the lines with the angles at the calliper ends as that is how the rears went, so I assumed probably wrongly that the fronts...

UPDATE: After thinking I didn't have the brake lines set-up right and referencing the previous images I got in contact with Mitch Plowman at Pro-line. Mitch confirmed my thoughts that I may have a T-piece too many and advised on how to fit (this matched @robzracing image I previously...

That was my initial thought, thank you for supporting that.

Pretty sure I have the Cup master cylinder, I just have currently placed the lines in completely the wrong place. What makes you think it is the incorrect master cylinder mate? I have messaged mick and will follow it up later. ?

Cheers chap, the bit that I am most unsure of is the where it comes out of the master cylinder, but I will use your image to try and work it out... Although my kit looks different as I have a second T-piece - I think that is what is confusing matters.

UPDATE: So with all the items pretty much inside the car I needed to take a first look at the line routing. A couple of bits that needed sorting before this and to allow me to get things right were the AC pipe delete engine bay panel and the brake master cylinder. Master cylinder in. and...

UPDATE: Things have been pretty busy lately, with family and also with some mtb racing so priorities have not been on car progression, but now that has passed I am beginning to refocus on the car. As seen in the previous post I managed to get the PMS shifter in. My aim was to get all the items...

UPDATE: A little bit more done (although nothing with the brakes, I need to sort that really). More prep on the interior and sorting little bits that all seem to take time. The Seals-it firewall gromit had dried from paint and with some black sealant on the rear was riveted to the bulk head...

That could be perfect... mainly because I have no abs too

I may look into this approach, perhaps before or after the car is assembled. As you say if they are done at least you know.... Will fire you a message mate. Interesting to hear that. The car is going to be a track car with very very little road use. I have been told this approach should be...

UPDATE: I have followed up on the brakes and am at a bit of a stalemate with what to do. Refurbs are around £100 per calliper, new items are cheaper but have a long lead time and one of the rears isn't even available... Currently I am unsure what to do. As the rears a re a little stiff it...

UPDATE: So I managed to get out to the car tonight, but it was short lived due to frustration of the situation. This then frustrated me even more as I feel like I need to crack on... In the grand scheme of things though its just a car, its just money and/or time... After having a good look...

I said look, but meant Loom, not locks - sorry. Locks are too heavy... ha Updated now

UPDATE (non car) There is a reason this has been delayed a few weeks in that I haven't been around for the past 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago I headed out to the Isle of Man TT. What an experience, pretty crazy a bike passing you at 200mph only a metre away... Properly enjoyed it and great to share it...
