cheeks are hurting from the cheeeesy grin that appeared on my face as i got to this pic...........scooooop!!!
ive been following your posts langy and must admit to being in awe, you are a very talented bloke and obviously take a great deal of pride in your work mate.
I look forward to updates on your thread, do you have a youtube channel with your exploits?
Nice work with the thru frame fitting, are they not available off the shelf (There was someone who build a water cooler on here and couldn't find any)? What's the point in having a loop in the line in the third picture?
Probably available threaded but definitely not available for brakes or push on, the loop is for vibration. Years ago when copper was used they coiled it to absorb vibration, the Kunifer has much better qualities than copper but as I'm replicating a 60's car I coiled it to look like it should, does that make sense ?
Yep, makes perfect sense, thanks.Probably available threaded but definitely not available for brakes or push on, the loop is for vibration.

However making it from some bar you had is much more impressive.
Very common on factory US cars to have 4 or 5 coils of brake pipe next to the master cylinder for that very reason as a lot of those cars had the body mounted on rubber and would soon fracture the brake pipes,Probably available threaded but definitely not available for brakes or push on, the loop is for vibration.
