Great to see another video from yourself. Very informative and good to watch. To be honest, anything you put up would be good viewing for us DIYers. Always learning.

I would love to see how you go about making up hard brake lines. When I do it I struggle to get the length right first time and some of my bends could be a bit neater.

[@thomasclassicandmodern]

Ok no problem . We will get a video sorted for you, thanks for the comment 👍👍

I can’t believe people still can’t fit safety parts properly, those rear brakes are rediculous, people need to get some training before trying to build their own vehicles. Its cars like this that will make the government think about enforcing the need for MOT’s on older classic vehicles because quite frankly they need to, if this is common! Good effort TCM, excellent Video!!

It never fails to amaze us!! I'm a firm believer in the mot exempt scenario needs a serious revisit !!
Thanks for the feedback and glad you're enjoying the channel 👍👍
