Quick question. Is it ok for IVA if I mount a p clip on the wishbone for the brake line. I mean this in terms of does it create a fail due to structural change rather than pipe routing. I seem to remember (but can’t find) a thread were this was done and commented on?
Cheers

I have done this as I remember a similar thread. The pipe is 'held' in place and not 'rubbing' against anything so i think is ok.
I cannot find the thread though after multiple searches...
However I am taking some homemade brackets to IVA which I can attach to my next p-clip location in case they dont like the ones on the wishbone.

Finally back and rolling. That was until I read Russ's post about the wheel arch stays. I too have had to now grind through my paint (luckily only hand painted) to make the ABS mount flush with the caliper mount. This is a pain in its self but it now means I have to buy the wheel spacers to get it back rolling which I thought was an expense I could put off. Oh well add the cost to the increasing pile! Stewart at Freaky parts sorted me out and delivered 40mm spacers in just 3 days.  |

I have been following your build thread as you are also using the same 1.8 2003 mk2.5 model as me. You have saved me lots of searching through other threads and I really appreciate your summaries of various options like the fuel pipes, ABS and charcoal canister. |

If so let me know and I'll post a pic of mine for you which passed IVA inspection |

Making progress on the car but not on my blog updates. Modified steering column to lengthen it which went OK but what have people done with the bearing/cap at the splined end as it does not slide down further due to a circlip on the shaft? I could see no reason for this circlip other than to retain the bearing so I just removed it as the steel end of the bearing/cap was a tight fit into the tube. The bit I am referring too is the round section on the shaft shown in the picture.  |

I removed the ABS and so a replacement non-ABS master cylinder and proportioning valve fitted (after a re-paint). Pedals all now line up with a lot of trial and error and seem to be OK but no doubt more adjustment as I go. The non abs master cylinder has a different position for the throttle cable bracket which is annoying so need to modify that. I have also filed out the rectangular hole for the throttle cable since this picture.   |

Wishbones had to be modified to clear the suspension (I am using standard suspension). I need to put the banana brackets on but have to paint first. On re-assembly I realized I also needed to modify the sub frame but it now all runs free.  hydroxide molecular formula |

Routing all the brake, fuel and clutch lines took some time to keep it simple, supported and clear of moving parts. The braided hoses certainly helped. Just bought a MK1 fuel tank (£10) just a few miles from my house so I can keep going with the rear end hook up.   |
