Great build, but if i may:
The rear flex hoses go through the cast tab where the factory flex hose meets the hard pipe to the calipers normally.
Will you bush that hole to protect the hose?
I think this is a dry build you are going through at this stage.
Sorry if you have this covered already.

Thanks.These lines are braided(long),not factory lines, there is no hard line,they run directly from the junction thingy, to caliper.There is a bush that fits the hole.IIRC Rebel Racing again. :cheers:
