They ain't perfect, got a few wee rough bits.
was a tedious job to form them all up from the coiled tube,
wouldn't want to do it again in a hurry!

before you give it the final bleed, you're really gonna need to fit your brake hard line grommets where your lines protrude through the inner guards.

I am buying blanks Bart, and going to punch them, and split cut/glue around the tube to suit.
as you may pick up the hard lines are quite a bit off centre.
have not managed to find new after market 30mm grommets as yet, but may try 'basis' resto parts

They are a bit of a throw together Joel; M8x90 cap screws, with nolethanes bushes and original cup washers, the gold colour spacers, are actually some tapered spherical housing alignment bushes I had lying around from either my camber plates or my panhard rod ends. they seem to look ok, they have some fuel hose internally to adapt the difference in internal diameters. hope the setup does the trick

Not much of an update, but spent a couple of hours in garage tonight, so thought would throw some pic's up.
I have assembled all the steering box & steering arms etc, still need to be tightened and greased, but its all in the right place.
I needed to get it rolling, as need axle stands to put under another car, I could not put the 12" wheels on the front, as have the S13 brakes now fitted up, so I tried on my new 14x6.5" Formula one's (mini lites) that I acquired a couple of months back, which
fitted very nicely.
Plan to get the motor (short block) & box installed in next couple of weeks, and start fitting things off, and also start some work in the cabin. also need to sort out my fuel feed system / surge tank setup....
Good to see it down on the floor again.
