The Build - Brake and Fuel lines

I've mounted my master-cylinder on the opposite side of the pedelbox with the same bolts. Tiger only drilled one of the holes for guidance so I drilled the other one. They layout of the pipes is also shown although I did change this later due to mounting the rear compensator the wrong way round.
Another view showing the layout of the front brake pipes. I had to take the long route for the front left one as the pipe supplied was very long.
Here's the view of the brake compensator the correct way round. I'd initially had it at the back of the car but round the wrong way. Note that this picture was taken from the front of the car looking towards the back.
Photo of my rather lovely gold reconditioned callipers. I was going to spray them red but decided that the gold looked quite nice. (I'd pained the carriers red in antisipation of the callipers not looking so nice)
Suprisingly I couldn't figure how to secure the pads in place as the Haynes manual wasn't that clear. Once in place it was obvious that the small wire thingy went as in this picture.
