Decided to block off the top vent. 1 to stop rain getting in and 2 so that the air flow is in low at the front, then up and out of the vents at the rear. To shift the heat away.

Might keep it silver.

One thing I noticed a couple of days ago is that the rear wheels stick out more than the fronts.

Some 1inch spacers arrived today form minispares. Hopefully they will address a little inner arch tyre rub.

One down, one to go.

Pressed my brake pedal yesterday and it went straight to the floor! found a nice brake fluid puddle on the floor of the garage. I had tightened the fitting going to the front /rear part of the regulator as I had seen a weep. It seems that it was threaded, doh! Tightening it just made it worse.

I got my scope to look at the thread on the regulator and it looks ok I think. I'm hoping the brass fitting thread will give up before the steel in the regulator

 

I really could do with putting a new line on this weekend but minispares oldbury isn't open on Saturdays now!! right pain.

 

Can anyone tell me which end on the line is metric and which is imperial?

Changed the bottom shock bolts for competition ones as one was bent. One was a right pain,but with a hacksaw, penetrating fluid, drift, MAP gas and impact gun - it lost.

Both sides done, with the spacers. One thing i have always come across are the splines on new wheel studs being course and the original ones being fine, which doesn't really help fitting. Nothing a big hammer can't sort out. Excuse the picture quality.

Bummer ! But glad you found this the way you did.

 

The Threads in those 'regulators' are M10 x 1.0.  I'd say that the fitting on your Brake Line was 3/8" UNF.

 

I've tried the brass fittings a while back and I gotta say, I'm not crazy about them at all.

[Spider]

We swap out the original 3/8" Shock Bolts - Front and Rear - to 1/2".

 

The 3/8" don't last too long at all !

 

I have noticed many replacement wheel studs have a courser and 'taller' splining on them, I suspect they do this in case the original splining in the flange is stripped.

KAD do new rear axles with 1/2" fittings. or cut the onld off and drill and tap to 1/2"

i want to do a rear ARB bracket that also puts the 3/8"in double sheer. that should be fine.

FAM7821 brake valve requires SAE metric thread connectors.

Metric thread connectors normally have a nick on the hex

Can you guess what you've done wrong yet

(it's an easy mistake to make, you should see some of the muck-ups i've done in the past )

I've just had a look at both ends and neither have a 'nick'.I did dry test them before assembly. Must have cross threaded it on final assembly.
