HYDRAULIC PIPING IN PLACE

I completed the installation of the brake and clutch piping today.  The process did not require a great deal of time.  Having the original lines to use as patterns makes the fabrication process so much easier.  So, if you ever have the need to replace the hydraulic system on your car, be sure to remove the old lines carefully.  Try not to bend them if at all possible.

 The photo to the left shows the installation of the clutch hydraulic line and flexible hose that connects the master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder.
 A hydraulic line extends from the manifold, pictured above, to the rear manifold and flexible connecting hose, shown in the photo to the right.
The photo to the left shows the attachment of the hydraulic and fuel lines to the Healey's frame.  A work of art.















More to come...
