The art of pipe bending ... part 2

Sunday 8th November - Work time = 3 hrs ... Build Time To Date = 29 hrs
Today was the front and rear brake pipes.  The pipe fixings were the push-in clips rather than the rivet ones for the other pipe runs.  These were a little fiddly to put in but with a spare piece of brake pipe installed they tapped in easily with the mallet.  The pipe runs were fairly easy to bend, clipping into the pipe clips along the way.  I didn't complete the bends at the front until the flexible hoses are installed as I figured they would get damaged if left just hanging there.  Here's the finished view ... note the masking tape over the ends to stop any muck getting in!












Hi, it's the missus here, just want you all to know that the printer needs fixing, the computer most probably needs looking at as it keeps breaking but it's ok because we have brake pipes installed!!! No, seriously I'm OK with it!!!

Looks like I'd better go fix the PC and printer now !  ;-)
