So some of you eagle eyed guys may have noticed that I'd only used actual 'Aeroquip' branded fittings on the top end, These lot here were a slightly cheaper version from 'Torques' on eBay as Think Automotive had no stock..

I really hated them :( They do not have the same double swivel facility that the Aeroquip ones had and just felt cheap in comparison.

So I've gone back through them and replaced them for geniune Aeroquip fittings. Jeez they're expensive though!!! The 120 degree fittings are nearly £28 each and in total I've used 13 fittings (a mixture of straight and bends) not to mention check valves and various sized filters. Not cheap doing this but I'm so happy with how it's shaping up!!!!

Here's the same setup from above re-done with genuine fittings :)

Here's a closer look at the fittings to see the comparison

Also got round to fitting my new lift pump too as I didn't want to run with two high pressure pumps.

Fitted and ready to go back in

Also these have been on a while now but Mr Rapidos stripped his VX and I nabbed his wing mirrors. Can't get over how little they weigh, there's a pic somewhere of them on scales but here they are on the car. Not to everyone's taste but I like them :) Formula APR Mirrors from the states

Same mirrors that I have on mine JJJ - also find that they don't vibrate at all, unlike the standard ones. G

Few more jobs over the last few days... Got my Tullet re-packed so fitted that, made a little cover for my fuel pump access as I had to make the whole cut larger due to my roll cage and the Aeroquip fittings. Also been working on the super low JK subframe...... Works well for me as Ive done away with the gear surround but don't think it's good for anyone who wishes to retain the surround though :(

I wish, I only have one Tillet at the mo.

Possibly selling my JK to Joseph for a song and contemplating a stripped standard seat for the pax side.

Ah for the first time in a while had a wee VX parcel waiting when I got home.

Anybody guess what it is...?

Also got busy recycling my drill case as my trusty Dewalt finally copped for it. Combined it with some packaging material from work and turned it into a nice hard case for my Vbox :) spent ages cutting all the plastic moulding out of the inside of the case.
