Fix to flex

And here the finished connection from the fixed brake line to the flexible line. This is the driver's side (LHD), some more bending has to be done around the steering column.
Cheers.

Flexible

Finally some work done in the new workshop. New flexible brake line shown here with full steering lock, still some excess length to evitate stress on the unions.

Where the unions will meet inside the engine compartment, shown here is the old female union.

 

My first (selfmade) double-flare to connect the fixed line with the flexible line, new union is M10x1.
Cheers.

Braided steel brake lines

Moving delayed work on my car and I still haven't finished the brake system. The braided steel lines for the front calipers are too short when mounting the wide track kit. On the other hand, those included in the kit are way too long (measured with full suspension drop and steering stop). Although I prefer local workshops, I didn't find one which could manufacture braided lines. Order dropped at Probrake in Germany who have a well made online configurator and competitive prices. Specs are as follows:
Length (includes fittings) = 43cm
Fittings in above pic from left to right
- caliper side: M10x1 thread length 15mm, convex
- body-panel feed-through: M10x1 thread length 22mm, convex
Choice can be made out of the following list. 
Cheers.

Relaunch ... soon!

It takes longer than expected to move everything from one place to another. Tools & parts ...

... and a narrow partition with some other material, parts and tools.
Hopefully, the move will be finished this weekend and relaunch of assembly can start next week.
Cheers.

Winter workshop

Being a co-tenant of rented space, it was obvious that one day I would have to move on. Lucky enough I had this opportunity to start work, but now it's time to move on to a smaller workshop to finish the car.

Not a steep one, but I was happy to have my son with me to push it up the hill to it's new home.

 

Less space but quite enough for the remaining work. It was a big moment to see her on four wheels again.

Cheers.
