Front Brakes

Front brakes were fitted next.  According to the IVA manual, EVERY nut / bolt must have a visible locking device - I love mechanical engineering, so opted for locking washers over thread locking compound.  I am sure that some weirdo chemist might prefer locking compound to locking washers, but I guess that's what makes the world go round...

Anyway, the attachment bolts needed shortening so that they are "clearly through" the caliper.  Here's an 'after' pic:

The brake line has to be fitted to the caliper first, then into the car body and then attached to the copper brake line inside the engine compartment.


Front wheels temporarily fitted into place:

That enabled the front wing brackets to align against the wheel rims and then the whole front end was torqued up and done!
