I'm impressed, that's took no time at all
Mine took 5 years
The only difference in brakes is caliper/carrier and the disc, everything else is the same

Thanks, just want to use it now
As long as they are rated on the head as 10.9 or 12.9 youll be ok.
Stainless stuff is way to soft/brittle
A2-70
A2-90
A4-90
Steel 8.8
All are too soft for suspension parts

Does anyone know where I can get the banjo bolts and unions that go on the fuel pump and filter ???

I didn't use the hose tails as I refitted all genuine Ford pipes

I can't wait either being able to actually use as you know I only drove it home from yours and stripped it to do the resto
No rush really would rather replace everything so it's all new but trying to find some parts is a nitemare
