that color is rad
We ‘borrowed’ an air powered riveter from Harbour Freight. It was a pita to use but better than a hand unit.Yeah it was a good time. Neighbors came by to check it out and help. We were all for that, especially using that darned hand riveter. Ouch!
Like the 3rd one you had posted. For some reason I couldn't see it. Mine looked just like yours.What kind of picture?
I would first wait until you have your master cylinder in place before shaping anything but I had a similar set up. I had to bend the top around the tube to have the verical run be flat and make room to thread into the master cylinder. Bad picture but like below. In the end you can always bend to make shorter but much harder to make longer so the default is a touch long by design.Another update. We got the steering rack on, complete with new tie rod ends. Then we put the brake lines in and ran into a problem. The line ended up being about 1" too long. Did we get shipped a wrong size line?
We "fixed" the problem by putting the brake line under the square frame bar rather than in front of it. I believe we got the end of the line to the right position in the end, but will this placement interfere with anything else being put on the front? Will the line be out of place when we go to attach to it later?

Boy, are you right. I didn’t get the full meaning of your advice until I was done. Then I went back and reread your post and thought “I was warned.” Ran into that problem too many times.One additional tip: you may have a tendency to question things in the videos if they don't specifically address them, but don't do that. If it's not mentioned, leave it be, it'll get mentioned later. That happened to me numerous times while doing my harness.
- The table is just to help you shape the harness during the thinning process. All you need is the tabletop to work on (with markings).
- Yes, you should solder, for permanence. Don't use crimps.
- You can probably get what you need at an auto parts store, or Amazon.
- You can use discarded wire from the harness. DF also sells a properly-colored extension kit on their store.
- Amazon. I got an assorted size kit and used almost all of it (the smaller sizes at least).
- Lighter works, but a heat gun is handy to have around for other things.
