Carl's Mk 4 Roadster Build

Bending brake lines was a totally new and somewhat frustrating experience. I spent most of the day just getting the front crossover mocked up.

I used coat hanger wire to mockup the path and make templates for the real thing. I probably made it more implicated than necessary but my goal was to keep it out of the way of the battery box that will go on the x frame. Here is a photo of the final version after I painted it in semi gloss black:

Here is a shot of the fitting on the DS brake (before painting). I could not get these bent without scratching the coating.

I also put the steering wheel on the car and to make sure I had the steering rack aligned which it was. Putting the steering wheel on, even if temporarily, makes you feel like your making real progress.

The weekend work includes getting the brake lines from the MCs to the front and rear and getting the differential mounted.
