68 valiant signet
i've started the hybrid valiant/explorer ebrake cables today. i removed both rear cables so i can lube them before use (see pic) and i'll also reroute the front cable inside the chassis so it won't be in the way when i get round to doing chassis/frame connectors later on. i cut the 'loop' off of the end of each explorer cable and these will be welded to the valiant cable's end nipples (got that idea from here, thanks). i'll need to make a couple of tube spacers as the cables look like they'll be too long otherwise but that's easy enough (already found some suitable tube).
plus while looking for freeze plugs for clive's 383 i found one or those mr gasket stainless sleeve/chrome bracket coil cover sets so i fitted that to my black coil. i know i'm a tart, i even dug out a 'right size' brass freeze plug that fits in the end of the sleeve too for full poshness.
neil.
