I know counting was never one of your strong points Ian

Im glad you are finally getting time and motivation to do some on it. It really does deserve to be finished..... You have put so much hard work into it now it would be a real shame if it never got used!

And I know how hard it can be to get going again after some set backs etc, it really does take alot to get back on something like this and get over the hump so to speak and get the enthusiasm back!

Three years, not even out of nappies son

A bit tonight...but then a bit of a block.
So went from this...


The this...piece of **** with a tube cutter
Deburred deburred with wire Wool and cleaned up ready for the -an convertors.


But when i came to put the fittings on I can't push the female ends far enough to get a satisfactory length of hard line inside the male end <oooerrr>. I feel like I need more length for a more reassuring fit



So now I need to find out if I can enlarge the end piece and not compromise the seal. I think it will be OK as I'm not going anywhere near the thread.
