Flexi sections to rear brakes "appear" to go the wrong way from the bracket on the chassis; the 'solid' pipe goes in from under / outboard and the flexi starts pointing up / inboard then turns towards hub, again to avoid fowling on springs. I hope this makes sense!
Cheers that makes sense now, it just looked wrong but as you say the only way to get it routed without catching the shocker.

Had a few more hour on the car today.Fitted the engine and gearbox and put the body back on. Should get the roll bar fitted tomorrow if I'm given the green light for a few hour in the garage on Valentines day hehe

Front brake hoses are in the radiator support brackets. Please please loose those air filters before you start the car.
Looks very tidy! Bet you are done by the pre80s. Were are you with the trim?
Best,

Thanks D it's a guessing game on the rebuild due to getting it already dismantled. Will get them in the right place now though. The interior is in need of fully restoring which I haven't started yet. Pre 80's would be nice but unlikely. Once the warmer weather comes I intend using the ML more in my spare time so may get what I can over the winter and then put it on hold for a while.
cheers for all the other comments
Chris

Fianaly fitted the door with the door trim albeit the old one that needs recovering. Must have had it on and off at least a dozen times.
