dibbyandco, Thanks for posting the photos of the oil line routing. Looks very clean and unobtrusive. Was the braided line part of the gauge/line kit you purchased from S&G?
Bill.

1vorjagman, when I purchased the car 40 years ago I did a driving restoration but did not do the suspension. The only suspension related work I did on the car was installing new Konis.
I am in the process of fully restoring the car now. As soon as I finish the electrical installation, I am starting on the suspension next. Be sure that I will be posting questions and photos.
Good luck with yours.
Bill.

Bill, for info, quite a few videos on YouTube on the subject of front suspension strip and rear subframe removal strip and rebuild. Nevertheless keep us posted on your progress.

Bill I’ve looked on the SNG Barratt website tonight and the wet oil pressure gauge kit includes the braided oil line, price for the kit inc Tax £211.08 here in U.K. not cheap!

Ian,
Thanks for the info on the wet oil gauge Kit. I will contact S&G Baratt US tomorrow. The restoration has made me well acquainted with them and the other usual suppliers. We are on a first name basis.
Thanks again.
Bill.
