... insertion in the flame guard and connection of the braided hoses. I made the connection of the master cylinder to the intake manifold once everything was inserted in the platform, having the right dimensions of the tube.

in the meantime we start to identify the distances of the various connections, in this sequence I connected the power steering pump to the steering box, -the first must be connected to the box (green arrow) - the second (red arrow) to the power steering reservoir - the tube indicated with the (red arrow) of the steering box will also go to the tank. I forgot the power steering tank I will have to recycle it because there is no kit.

Fabulous stuff, really impressive and I’ll be referring back to this for my own version.

 

I meant to ask if your daughter missed her Lego??
