Is that really your car or just a computer simulation of what a perfect one would look like...

None, but I wasn't lining up with original holes.

Brake pipes are curved beautifully.
Fuse box idea really works as well.

Well done. clap

For your fusebox put some of those little silica gel sachets inside that come in packaging or you may have trouble with condensation forming under the lid with the cold outside air. :-)

Looking good Mike !! also the fusebox box makes it look like a "real" car ;-)
A little bending would possibly been enough to match the original holes ??

They were our passes to get on the track at Spa a couple of weeks ago.


Do you mean the bracket ? Han had a few made in Holland from a drawing provided by someone else on here, sorry I can't remember name and search is down at the mo.

Is your brake servo stainless too or is it the light ? Nice job by the way, my engine bay looks like a birds nest that's been puked on by an oil rig

Is the shiny engine bay to compensate for the ford focus I see in the background ?

Servo and the valve itself are just painted.

Focus is for sale, my old dads car, he's had to give up driving through poor health. Its ten years old, had it from new, cracking cheap little "run about" for someone (see classifieds) wink

What a waste of a car.

You clearly don't drive it enough and should get yourself on one of these S Club Euro tour thingies to give it a good thrash rather than wrapping it in cotton wool on your drive.

Oh, hang on a minute... Phillpot... that name rings a bell from somewhere... hehe

Great work Mike clap
