Hello Boyd.
Where did you get the safety loop from? I see it in pictures above. Seems pretty solid and bolt on, right?
Thanks,
Martin

Yep, very solid, bolt on and quite adjustable, too. I got in on a group buy about 2 years ago, dont know if they will have any pre-made, but please check...

Thank you! Looks like it is still available. Will order one tomorrow. This is a must have. I may not race much, but will drive it with my boys a lot.

Hi Boyd. On those CNC reservoirs, check them with a magnifying glass. I had one that had a flaw in the casting, and it took a while, but started seeping right through the bottom surface. Also, there's not much "meat" to screw those pipe fittings in to, so don't go too crazy on tightening them up.
Pet the dog.

Gotcha Boat. Thanks for the tips. I'm just going straight in with this set of pipe adapters, so with a bit of sealant, I wont need to crank on em.

I agree on the "must have", especially on anything with some torque. If a u-joint goes, those fast-spinning parts are just a bit too close to some seriously not-so-replaceable parts. 
You're very welcome. Enjoy the build.
