Copper brake lines look like hard work, I measured up and ordered black braided hoses throughout for mine. Can't wait to fit them.

Your suspension is looking good, what did you go for in the end?

Cunifer brake pipes are £12 for a roll and there's enough to do the entire buggy....Braided hoses are expensive by comparison and don't hold the 'feel' of solid pipes so should be kept to a minimum.

250buggys, the coilovers are from "Gaz" don't know if they are any good until I try them out and that won't be for quite a long time yet.

Those brakes look fantastic and bet they will perform well, just had a look on the mini sport website to see how much they are and not far off what I paid for my buggy!

I have never been a massive fan of the Blitz but was searching the forum the other day and saw this which looks like fun.

Are you planning on putting your buggy on the road or just off road?

I'm planning on putting it through the dreaded IVA test and get it on the road.

That's good, will look forward to seeing your progress. Nice little project.

They look wonderful, hopefully they aren't too powerful, I can lock up my fronts with the standard brakes, there's no weight on the front, my MOT tester just makes them lock up & ignores the numbers.
