i know it is the easest thing in the world to critisie and being a new member i should keep my mouth shut but i can't Your brake pipes in the engine bay are wrong they are run the wrong way and let the rest of the car down
what you have done so far looks stunning but the pipes let it down.
Wether you are building an out and out concourse car or just a tidy car you can pop the bonnet at a show it's attention to detail that counts.
I can imagine how you feel someone telling you to rip out something you took a lot of care in doing but its not right
myself and my friends would all say the same if we saw the car
stunning car but what happened at the brake pipes.
I know i will of upset you and a lot of other people by saying this but i had to say it

[Nipper]

Not sure where you mean about the pipes being wrong ?

Here's a picture of some original pipes, and Gaz's routing looks the same to me ??


This is Arrons car by the way, and I took the photo as a reference for my brake pipes

I made the pipes for Gaz, and I took the lengths of them from an original set I kept of my blue RS2000.

[hally]

brake pipes look right!

[cyd1245]

ok perhaps im wrong, but i think the rear brake pipe should come up the right hand side of the servo bracket where it meets the bulkhead, not the same side as the front brake pipe, also the n/s front brake pipe should run in to the corner of the chasis and bulkhead,



i hope u understand im not trying to be nasty and pick faults with some one elses work just for the sake of it, the rest of the car and whats been done so far is out standing and it just struck me that the brake pipes aren't right, more fool me if the brake pipes are right and im wrong.

cheers ian

[Dave1800BDA]

Ian I know what youre are saying that is correct for Girling type system, thats what Ive got on mine, the rear system travels up the bulkhead and goes to the near side/ engine side, and come together on the top of the brake tower as normal.

ATE systems Im not sure, I had the same conversation with Ian Parker.

Gaz has done it how he wants and looks fine to me, I dont think hes going for the bufty scene

[cyd1245]

perhaps in future i will keep my mouth shut
i can appreciate this car is not the same as worthers but looking at the work so far is not going to be far off and something to be very proud of

[76mex]

looking well that gaz keep up the good work

Thanks for the info

But i am not out and out gay and little things like that im not anal about.

perhaps the info will come in handy when someone else is doing a resto so at least your efforts arent wasted.


Clean and useable is the order of the day for MY car .

[GAZ W]

And as for this quote

Things like that really **** me off , this is what keeps alot of people form bringing there mk2's to the shows , because all the little anal gays criticising others pride and joy.
