    by , 10-01-2011 at 11:05 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)
    After removing most of the brake pipes under the bonnet, it’s time for the spaghetti juggling again.


    You will need to install 8 new brake pipes.

    Sealed the brake master cyl ports as it is time consuming task to get rid of tiny bubbles from the cyl without taking it off the car and bench bleeding it first.
