I made a boo boo on 1 - ended up the boot opening was 5 mm odd out - so might brace it all before I start

It's looking great. Intersting how you have routed the brake lines. Using the outer mounts. All my Capris are different and I have one that has four brake lines across the heater bubble. In one of my manuals it shows that as being an option. I also have major work to do on one of mine with roof, A pillar and inner and outer sills so need to think about how I brace it while all that gets done. Won't be happy once finished if it's doors don't close.

thats how i thought the brake lines went , and as you mentioned there are few different ways and some have the extra lines etc ... i only placed them there thinking thats how it was from factory , that was 1 of only a few parts that were still on the car when i got it so i put them back as it was cheers

I understand that australian capri v6 with duel master usually have two brake lines running across the plenum. I also understand how english capris with single master including rs3100 have three brake lines running across the plenum. But four brake lines, how does this work?

Fat brown wire to positive on the battery. Thin black return wire to negative on the coil from the distributor.

Positive goes to coil. Negative to dizzy. Bypass it to start it. To make sure it works cord from battery and alligator clip. Have you joined different looms together.

The extra wire from the starter solenoid to coil is to provide the coil with 12V while cranking.
