Found some 3/8" UNF pipe fittings tonight in my bits and piece so I made up the hard lines from the hydraulic clutch bias pedal box to the standard Mk2 brake warning unit. Also I have almost finished putting the dynamat in.

Thats the gear that runs the counter balance mechanism. The counter balance is remove as it weighs a poo pooe load and restricts the engine for performance mods. Do a search on ebay they come up from time to time if you want to see it. You need a counter balance delete unit which is just visiable on that photo once it is removed, again they are on ebay search Duratec 2.3.
