Next step of my rebuild to sort out and I'm unsure what parts I need to order.

It's a 1990 / 1979 (mashed together) so that'll be the Split system, front to rear?

I took this years ago at Bingley for future reference but I didn't take one of the other side, does anyone have a photo of theirs or one they've found?

Cheers.

n/s the rigid pipe fits direct into the end of the flexible hose with a male fitting

It's worth noting on some braided hoses the flexihoses are handed..the threaded holes in the end are different depths.

You need the one with shortest hole for the n/s so the rigid pipe seals before it runs out of thread

Make sure you have copper washers top and bottom of the banjo. I can see the top one, but the bottom one may be hidden.

Oh, and if that is copper brake pipe, not Cunifer, I would junk it and start again. Lives depend on it. The copper pipe is manifestly unsafe, and is not made to any official specification for brake pipe. It has a very short fatigue life in terms of pressure cycles.
