I'm making some brake pipes up. Master cylinder >>> servo and servo >>> 3-way union...

I don't really want to fit the servo at the moment tho as it takes up most of the engine bay...

So I'll put that aside until I get the loom in and continue with the insulation...

Should get the new manifold early next week then that can go on, fix the exhaust (hangers already fitted) and fire her up again....
