The brakes are done, used HEL lines. I fitted the air shifter with new lines so I could move its components from where they were on the old bike they came off. Pressure tested it and it lost 5 psi after half an hour, which is ok, as it'll be pressurised with a bicycle pump after every run.

Also fitted a catch tank / breather tank, got it from Germany for only £24, its intended for a car engine bay, so had to make the mounts to fit it the frame down tube. It doesn't sit quite right, so will have to make a mark 2 version when I have time.

buy yourself a cheapy 12v tyre pump, you'll soon get tired of using a bike pump for the air shifter trust me.
I've got a decent stirrup pump, only takes a few seconds to get it to 130psi.
