What product did you use on the floor of your garage in the end?

nick! 23 September 2012 02:13 PM

Any in-car videos from the track day mate?

Saalro 23 September 2012 05:03 PM

How have you connected the braided line for the feed to the connector (3), as this is a clip type connection as standard?

Have you used a worm drive type clip?

Glad to see your keeping it Lee :thumb:

How were the dunlops?

Saalro 24 September 2012 08:33 PM

Did you try use the original plastic clip at all, i'm thinking of pushing it inside the new teflon braided line and using a worm drive clip to tighten the seal.

Thanks

The picture shows the correct push on connector same as the standered hose clip but with provision for the adapter for braided lines

You don't hang about do you!

leecalcars 08 October 2012 10:03 PM

ive learnt in life no-one is going to do it for you so you need to succeed yourself ,i set my self little goals and try to achieve every day ,whether it be at work or play plus it stops me from going to the pub and waisting my hard earned by pissing it up the wall.

doing something you dont enjoy time drags but doing something you enjoy time fly's by !!

and i am a practical person just love it really keeps me busy mate
