Cheers Blackycan make the distribution block work but those rigid to flex line brackets are gone. Front mounted calibres so will have to work out another bracket setup and butcher some more welding. The wiring is coming along well and been trying to tackle some of the little things that need doing. As I said, my welding is shit but I can still use fibreglassquick rub back and another coat of paint should be good. Had a crack at some ally work toosee what it looks like when I do the final install and get the protective sheet off then decide whether to paint it or not

Have a good weekend- Enjoy the Dunn run for those in west oz able to go
Cheers melly

Nice work there melly


FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie

Looking good Melly

Been trying to make the most of old mates shed and hoist with the new wiring now done bar a few final terminations like rear overrider lights, horn and things like that. Also made a bit of progress on running brake lines, then ran out of bundy after stuffing a couple of flares n bends. new battery cable…
Will make a few minor adjustments to routing and clamp them down when I’ve got all the bits in. As usual found several bits and pieces missing- like no unions in booster. Will do a run to the brake shop and get all the missing stuff and overhaul/ replacement parts soon.

Have a good weekend everyone, cheers

Looking good melly

You might want to clamp the brake lines to the body while the guards are off Melly, the rego bloke wont like the pipes being unsupported for that distance

Silly question. Is that copper pipe you using for the brakes ? Or is it copper plated steel bundy tube ?

I don't know what the rules are in Sth Aust, but in NSW, copper pipe for brakes is illegal.

Starting to look great Melly.
Is this the trial fit up of everything and then pulling engine etc to put some paint on things and clean up parts

Mate with your headers you may want to get them ceramic coated.

Thanks guys… yep still mocking up Neil then everything back out. Think I have got it to a point where most of the missing bits have been identified (think I’ve said that before) but I’m sure I’ll find more on the way. I’ve got some welding and stuff to do, finish brakes then when I finally get to panel and paint it will be rolled into the shop empty. It’s copper coated steel Dr Terry, not the gear I thought I ordered from eBay with the flaring kit and stuff but… still trying to work final lay then I’ll clamp it down Blacky. Had a look at the dot site and can’t seem to find a spec on distance, but as Harv mentioned I’m thinking around every 8 or so inches with a p-clip?

Cheers melly

300mm between clips for fuel in NSW I belive. Also to be restrained to prevent movement where there is a change in direction or potential rubbing.
VSB14 sectin LG is the fuel line reg. This just says they must be steel tubing and adequately supported so as not to chafe, and must be protected where exposed to road debri. As far as I can recall there is no set distance between supports.
