Yeah Cushy the metros really do the job. I had them in the car since about 2004. The good thing about the engineers certificate is that now the braided lines are now certified so they (the rego guys) can't argue about their legality. Yeah Mick almost a 360, but the hardest part was having to sing the "Self Preservation Society" song while doing it... :lol:

Will paint up the two spare pristine doors I have sitting in the shed and put those on when I have a chance.

Cheers

Matt

Congrats mate, from what i've read it's been a long road. It must be pretty pleasing to be able to say "I did that".

Yeah metalfab 19 months approximately which is I think probably average given it was pretty much a weekend project. But yeah to be finally able to say "I did that" and mean it (as in it runs and I can drive it on the road) is very satisfying.

Cheers

Matt
