    Shaun I think the people that quiered the use of the FX3 frame might just be eating their words !!!
    I'm very happy with it.

    WOW, that frame looks like it went thru a powder coating process instead of paint. Very, very nice.

    Well the weather has been great again so I started to run the brake pipes today, I couldn't make my mind up to use Kunifer or Stainless but the decision was made for me when i checked my fittings stock as all i had was stainless fittings.

    I didn't have any stainless thru the frame fittings so made some up on the lathe from 5/8" stainless bolts.

    Brake line is held by rubber lined stainless P clips secured by 5mm stainless button head set screws.

    Cheers guys, it's not to bad really, I just did the bits that showed, I'm not to bothered about the finish on this one as it will get abused but I still want it to look tidy.

    Is this the type vehicle your frame came from Steve?
    That paint looks better on your frame than most of my car's paint!
