how shorts that brake pipe need to be? I've got some premade to 110mm and 120mm here at work if that would save you some grief?

Probably a bit less than that, but I'll measure it tomorrow  |

70mm Archie! I'm not sure I can flare both ends of a pipe that short, (don't know if it'll fit in the flarer). When we first built the Pop Loon & I had several unsuccessful attempts at creating the flares on brake pipes, before someone else, (sorry, I can't remember who), took over & made them. So I've never really got the hang of it. This will make an interesting practice piece |

It was my day off today, so I did a few errands. Collected the axle bracket from the powder coater, fitted it & tightened down all the diff casing nuts. The Haynes manual said 20 - 30 lbs of torque, which can't be much more than hand tight can it? Anyway, I did them as tight as I dared by hand cos I haven't got a torque wrench. Next job is to run a bead of Araldite around the diff casing flange.

I vaguely remember the flange weeping oil, but there's no way I'm removing it & disturbing the gears to replace the gasket, so I'll bodge it with the Araldite & paint over it.

Called in at Loony's workshop on my way back from the coater. The Pop doors have been there for quite a while, waiting for me to install the axle & wheels, so I can roll it out of the garage to test fit them. I've cleared some space in my 2nd rented garage, so will store them in there until I'm ready. I'd forgotten what they looked like!

To clear some space in the 2nd garage, I gave away my welder today. I haven't used it for 5 or 6 years & don't have a power supply at the lock-up, so it was just gathering dust. This is definitely my last, ever, ever project, so I passed "Ol' Sparky" onto a mechanic at the Royal Mail depot I work at. So long, old friend.

If the t is just an in and out can you loop the pipe to the other end to give you a bit of extra length / room?

Yeah, I thought that. Or I could make up a flexible Goodrich hose.

Sometimes I think I'm getting nowhere, but I guess every little job is another step forward.
