Going to speak to HEL in a bit, for those that have done this conversion, which lines did you order, were they off the shelf or custom made?

Just spoke to Shaun at HEL, got some black on black lines ordered using Andys measurements, so hopefully will get them early next week :smt003 and not be able to fit them as I am running around fixing bloody tank transporters :smt013

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Hmmm ..... I'm not sure they will be right as the master cylinder banjos fit at different angles with the radials. also, I'd go for slightly longer lines were I to do it again.

I went with your ammended lengths, added a couple of cm to the left and right to hopefully make sure there is enough slack. Told him it was the standard master cylinder, so they will be the same at both ends on the right with the left one having a slight angle.

Not sure if asking for everything in black will add 0.5 bhp, but worth a shot :smt003

I reckon the black calipers will definitely add some. :smt003

Went and got the calipers shot blasted today, still got 3 seized pistons in there the now. Going to have them done in fast black powder coating, with titanium fixings all for under 100 quid. Guy is local to me, so should get them back in a couple of weeks, and see what the results are.
