Should be a fun ride - if I can fit, but mostly it will be a twin to the Moke, and for my wife to drive.

Glad you got the brake lines sorted was sure you would. Steve (CTR)

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.
Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

The old nut was removed with a chisel and judicious tapping with a big hammer through the little window also.

1) Get a new nut for the line end that goes on top of the front subframe.
2) Carefully, with an 1/8" drill, make 6 little "dimples" at each corner of the hex nut.
3) Assemble brake line on wheel cylinder and put the other end through the subframe, add star washer and dimpled nut, then get a
hammer and a small punch that fits. First hand tighten, then snug up with punch and hammer, holding nut underneath also.
No need to remove radiator. Easy peasy.
