fitted my turbo oil feed pipe :





not 100% happy with routing , but will do for now to start her up.

plumbed in the clutch resivour :



i used silicon pipe :? who thinks brake fluid will do nasty things to it ?
i have left a small piece of silicon in some fluid , will have a look in the morning

i bought a res of a bike ,its small .. but only has to feed the clutch ??



I also got the throttle cable in , its all fitted .. just need a nipple :shock: of some kind to clamp the cable to the pedal.

also nearly done on the turbo oil outlet pipe to sump ... maybe tommorow ...
