    I ought to post pictures of my Build!

    I thought I ought to post some build pics! Almost at stage of running fuel and brake lines. Just waiting for some parts. It's all going well so far. Or is saying that tempting fate!

    Finally started my build the beginning July. 2015!

    Killer wheels! I also see you modded the frame for the brake booster...

    re: brake lines - Check out my build thread. I took a lot of pics of my brake lines. If you want I can take some (more) pics of my fuel lines too for reference.

    Thanks Dave. I would very much like to get some advice on fuel lines. I plan to mount a 'Y' block centrally under the 2x2 behind the lump (that's British for engine!!)

    Amd I plan to mount my brake balancer also on the 2x2 in reach of the driver.

    Very nice! Like the tires as well. I opted for Mickey Thompsons instead of GY's. I'm getting to brake lines as well and David does have some great pics that will help a lot.

    I have to have my rear wheels off in the next few days so I'll take some detailed fuel line pics for you.

    Here's a few detailed shots showing how I mounted the fuel lines. I concentrated on the routing through the frame by the rear passenger wheel. There are more shots in my build album:
