Great job mate!

I'm thinking of getting a new paint job, just wondering how much your cost?

Can anyone tell me what the small box on the servo is, what it does and whether it is necessary?

Believe its just an ugly connector block.

Maybe he's fitting a new master cylinder that has 2 outlets only, with that device he could split brake pipes front/rear or split diagonally

Looks very very nice mate! there is a lot of stunning builds going on at the moment, going to make the show and shine winners a tricky choice!

What brake pipes have you used? or are they the copper ones painted?
