I used 90degree 22mm copper pipe joints ( the ones with solder in them, but didn't use that bit ) - they are fixed in place using black silicon sealant, the new drain tubes fit over the copper perfectly.
Are you fitting a new heater radiator - if not at the very least you should flush out with descaler

descaler is an acid that disolves limescale, most plumbers and DIY shops sell it, to be effective you need to circulate it around the radiator and flush it several times
This is the part I used for the air intake drain channel http://www.copperpipefittings.co.uk...rod_207789-22mm-street-elbow-solder-ring.html

Looking good, some good photos. Well done.
The blue P6 on page 1 does look a bit dark to me to be Admiralty Blue, although it is surprising how different light conditions can change the appearance. It does look very nice though. I have just checked some photos of a P5B coupe in Admiralty blue that is for sale, and the colour varies according to the angle of the photo.The reference to Jaguar Midnight Blue might well be right, if my recollections of a 3.4 'S'-type are correct.
Whatever the colour is, I think it looks superb with the rostyles, sundym, boot spare etc. A really good specification.

Hello Hans,
It is all looking very spiffy...
I like the bright colours I must say.
You separated the two halves of the front calipers. In what way do they now seal together when you rejoin them? I have never dismantled them before in that way, hence the reason I am asking.
Ron.

Hello Pilkie,
They sure do, in fact I would bet my bottom dollar that they are!
Hello Hans,
The seal kit that you have there is the normal caliper seal kit. Maybe the two halves of the caliper when joined form a perfect seal, by the very nature of their design. If they don't or didn't, then brake fluid is going to leak... :shock:
