Sadly they didnt have time to get a look until today, when they found I have damaged the flexi hose with my bodged flare on the steel brake pipe.
They have cut back the steel pipe and added in a section of copper. I have dropped off a spare hose I luckily had in the garage and they will fit that and MOT tomorrow all being well
Another issue they spotted is the tyres rubbing on the front body mount bracket. They had a quick look at how I had cut the ones on J999MNY and will do that as well (it would be an MOT fail issue). Thankfully they have done all of this before actually doing an MOT test (keeps the history looking better!).
So tomorrow is the new deadline. Cutting it fine if I want to use it on this coming weekends lake district outing :huh: watch this space! :laugh:

Yep. AND the one I refer to as 'Gardening lane'. That is worse! J999MNY is very tall and struggles a bit in the thicker stuff. Ulysses is fairly low by comparison so should fair better (apart from the spare tyre on the roof maybe ~ I could be the first to puncture a spare wheel :laugh: )

"Gardening Lane" was that the one that caught a few rear quarters? I slipped under the branch being just a titch....
Sound like a good bunch at the MOT station, I'm sure you'll be out at the weekend.....

Still some tinkering to do here and there, but I have tomorrow off work so should be fine for the weekend
Gardening lane is this one Sniper...
I named it that because of the amount of pruning we had to do to get J999MNY about 300yds :laugh:
