More a case of where can I get an MPI stat housing? Oh I like that oh sod it lets have. The how much on the postage. Oh sod it lets get this and that and oh hit the next level of postage what do I remove?
Thinks I still want. Subframe rear mounts. (My welded up rubber mounts will do for now) timing chain cover (current A serise will do for now until I go for the electronics). Door hinges. (Mine still work) rear hubs (Mine are basically new but will need to upgrade to taper rollers soon) so that means the caps as well. They just happen to be high cost items.....

I got the subframe mounts, would've been rude not to whilst I was putting a new frame in, I didn't want to mess about with my engine, so didn't get the timing cover, I've only got standard doors so don't trust myself with those hinges and don't see the need for the hubs on a road car, did get the standard caps though

Well it was a bit cooler today. About 28 in the garage.
I continued with the brakes lines.
Using this bit of kit I got from Frost earlier this year.
Looks a bit tight in there.
Mmmm
Might need to change to banjos.

Then it was time to make up some load plates for the doors/hinges.
Then look at door fit.
And then the A panel.
Will need some trimming.

I finally got over to some I know who has more parts than I used to have. Which is good as I needed to borrow some for checking fit etc,
He also has a few nice cars.
The pink one is his daughters.
