And the cable ties on brake pipes will either wear through pipe (unlikely) or they will wear through and what looks to be your fuel line will hang down.
Also the fuel line should be metal tube as much as possable.
Anyway, it is your build and if you believe it or not will have your name attached to it.
When your boss sells it, and if it is involved in a fatality then investigated and found to be poor quality build, I am affraid the buck will stop with you.
As others have said, if it was you and you only driving it, then make it as safe or dodgy (that Ausie phrase again  ) as you feel comfortable with, but it is being built to be sold on. |
that's the bracket for the right rear hydraulic brake line.
I just used those clamps temporarily to route the battery cable so I could run the engine. I later replaced them with clamps like posted below. I guess I forgot to mention that.
So replace the fuel line with a metal one and do away with the zip ties, I can do that. How do you think I should make the brackets for the rear brake lines? I have a piece of angle iron welded to the frame, and the brake line bolted to that piece of angle iron. Should I drill and tap a hole in through the bracket to the frame and put a bolt in it? I don't understand whats wrong with welding.
