You'll just need the right pipe and makesure its bigger than brake pipes! Was having a look at them the other day when fitting Daves PAS and figured they were similar enough to be able to DIY it if needed.
Ah right, cant answer you that one! I cant see why you wouldnt be able to but guess the builder will know for definite!!
172 Race Car

I'm not sure what they are technically called, but we got them from a local place that makes up hydraulic hoses etc.
They are an olive fitting by the way if thats any help
In past years we've done quite a few rounds in the East Midlands / North East Midlands championships, but we're looking at trying to do some futher afield with the new car.
Hopefully go to places like Epynt etc
May see you out there soon.!!! although your car look a bit of a weapon...!
Looking at doing British Tarmac stuff next year - Epynt / Milbrook / Jim Clark etc

Here are a couple of pictures of the brake line fittings for those that were interested.
They are a similar item to this http://www.kiowa.co.uk/Products/Hydraulics/EMB_Compression_Couplings/Straight_Bulkhead_Coupling

Saturday we transfered the uprated fuel pump from the old car to the new car, plus fitted the old competition driveshafts into the new car.
The oil breather catch tank also went in. You can also see the adjuster bar for the alternator aswell.
Test fitted the bonnet and wings, and also made some new mounts for the rear bumper. It's starting to look like a car again now

Got a Geartronics flatshift ecu to replace the Sadev one we already had.
And fitted in the glovebox next to the Pectel T2 engine ecu.
And a vid of it running. Aplogies for the shoddy camera work, can't start the engine and hold the at the same time. It only has the exhaust manifold and downpipe on at the moment, which explains the noise.

Wheels on and off the sill stands. Going to get the wheels sandblasted and repainted at some point. Brake fluid in and exhaust made to fit. Also a temporary drivers seat fitted ready for going away to paint.
Terratrip rally computer and display fitted to the dash, with the Sadev gear indicator mounted to the dash top.
The dash top is on, but will need to come off again to fit a couple of guages into the middle air vents.

The steering lock I have already removed, I just cut the 'peg' that slides out off level with the body of the barrel. The barrel is going to be left in soley to turn the ignition on and off, no reason it couldn't be put on a switch but theres also no reason to take it off the barrel. The immobiliser ring isn't an issue for us as it has a standalone engine loom so the immobiliser doesnt need to be disarmed.
I dont understand what you mean by the door covers though
Before the end of the year hopefully. Not go a specific event set as the first outing. A couple of months hopefully
Should be off to the paintshop in the next fortnight though!
RS Clio 172 Phase 2

an amazing car with great progress
Hadnt checked this for a while, good work
A bit slow going, but been quite busy the last few weekends. The car is ready to go off to get painted now.
The dash is now all complete apart from screwing it back up and putting the newly painted dash inserts back on
Have fitted Aerocatches to the bonnet, such a pain to fit as i'm sure anyone who has some on their clio can testify. If you have a flat single skin bonnet then i'm sure they are a dream The clio is anything but a flat single skinned bonnet.
Drawing on the roof, and using a tape measure!
Hole saws out yet again to put a couple of holes through
Roof vent loosely fitted; when it goes off to get painted it will be bonded down to the roof.
All the panels fitted, ready to go. Not mentioned before but fitted the tailgate and removed the glass from it, and put on a new RS bumper.
Need to go away and make a list of everything that needs to be done when it gets back. Off the top of my head:
Seats and harnesses fitted
Extinguisher plumbed in
Plastic windows fitted
Door cards fitted
Flat shift setup
Tow eyes
Helmet box
and i'm sure many many other little jobs
Finally a very short and bad quality video of it starting again, just because I like the sound it makes. First attempt at starting today resulted in a 2 foot flame out the exhaust

I have the same roof rent and I have just replaced after the bonnet had flown up. I have made a mod to it as if its raining you do get wet even with the internal vents are shut. the holes that are in the roof put a rubber trim round to try and stop water running in.
car looks well we have just took delivery of a sadev st 75 14 the other week just to make sure I'll be able to keep up with you and your dad.
