Also took the opportunity to replace the power sterring feed banjo bolt with new copper washers (fookin £10 from Ford
)
and remount the power steering cooler:

More stuff done today:
Decided to make up all new front brake lines for the car. Had never done this before, but figured I'd give it a go.
Several hundred pounds, loads of fittings, and -3 brake line, and a little common sense - was a little easier tha I thought:
First step - cut hose to required length:
Slide threaded back piece over non-flared end:
Two other pieces are threaded connector end, and the olive:
Flare out the braided line away from the PTFE inner and push the olive all the way home:
Next, grease the threads of the connector end, and screw the two threaded parts together, first pushing the whole assembly home, to end up with:
Old v new:
Complete front end:

Fuel lines needed to be done next. Having not done this before, I was alittle concerned, but it was just common sense:
-6 fuel line and various fittings:
Cut the fuel line to the desired size, and then separate the two halves of the connector:
The red part then screws on to the braided line by cutting a thread with the sharp edge inside the connector. Once it is fully home, it should look like:
Blue part clamped in protected vice, and threads greased:
Screw together the two parts, and one fuel line complete:
More pics to come tomorrow...........

More updates:
Got all the front brake lines in, and connected to the master cylinders:
Then put the Defi fuel pressure sender in to the special 1/8NPT -6 fuel line adaptor:
I then decided to fit the new oil cooler I'd bought, having sold the old one a little while ago:
19 row Mocal cooler with -10 fittings:
There were four pre-drilled holes for the Ford motorsport cooler, but to mount it there would have involved major surgery to the bumper, so used those holes to mount brackets, and push the cooler right back to the rad:
Plenty of airflow through the bumper:
Then the remote filter head was assembled:
... and mounted to the wing:

Franco - what do you need to know?
Mark - in the pics, I've just rested em in, although they are fairly tight. What you can't see is that I've made up a little plate that screws into the dash, and has two riv nut type jobbies to allow the fitment of a couple of bolts to hold it all in.
Update should be coming this week or next, as I've got soooo much more aeroquip to fit, all the new fuel system to mount, beam to go in, breather to fit, fluids to put in, and we're away!

Update at last!!!!!!
Been doing some more work on the old girl in an attempt to get the car rerady for National Day so.....................
The fuel setup in the boot:
I got Lee @ Fusion Fabrication to knock me up a plate to fill the spare wheel well, and one of his pump and filter holders:
I then added some small strips of rubber to give the pump and filter a little more cushioning:
Test fitted everything:
Drilled the mounting holes:
Mounted the holder to the floor plate
I then made up the pump to filter pipework (mmmm aeroquip!)
Then fitted it all together to come up with:
I also bought a new Aermotove fuel pressure regulator:
.......... all fitted this afternoon - pics tomorrow...........
More to come over the weekend........

I've had to redo some of the fuel pipework, as I've gone for this Aeromotive regulator, and a rather bling new fuel rail which is on the way soon.
Anyway, Aeromotive reg installed on the inside of the suspension turret:
New short fuel pipe made up:
Loads more coming this week, as I aim to have it driving out the drive by the weekend!
