    Quiet day do going to make a few pipes up :)
    Everything you will need, you can get brake pipe pliers but not needed
    wee alloy bar with a cutout I put in it does everything I need.
    Thing I don't like is copper/nickel copper pipe as its not factory looking
    also copper goes off and looks crap ...so mine will be copper/black [8D]
    more pic's soon :thumbup:

    Superb attention to detail, can I ask what you used on the brake pipes? Was it just spray paint? Looking forward to seeing this complete,

    Came a long way since Colin T had it, remember it well going round knockhill :thumbup:

    Is that heat shrink you used on the brake pipe? Was contemplating doing that myself but decided I couldn't be bothered to run down maplins to buy lots, lol.
