Nothing much, but now there are brake and fuel lines... just a couple of clamps missing. And bolts of that plastic fuel tank shield... Now it is time to finish front axle and brakes...  :hello2:



What's the purpose of that plastic shield?  It seems pointless to me.

It keeps this notch, seen in picture below, out of sight...



But my new fuel tank has its lower part welded backwards... so it is useless..

Right, if anything the plastic cover seems to be a bad thing rather than serving any good function.

Eaglegirl's sx had one, I seemed to have forgotten  ::) to put it back on when I did the tank swap. If you happened to back into something (log, rock, ect) that little piece of plastic would aid in saving your gas tank from a puncture wound though  ;). Cherokees have them too, and I know they work for that  :rotfl: .

I was going to ask the same question.......don't they need to be steel ?? I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but then again you asked first IE : ) ....... Is that a "new" metering block also ?? I didn't think you could get those anymore....

Juhap is from Finland.  Perhaps they have different rules when it comes to brake lines.  Yes, I missed the metering block.  Is that new Juhap, and what application is it for?

Metering block is old one. I just cleaned and painted it...

And brake lines are made of 4.75 mm Cu-Ni brake line stuff sold by local speedshops.

Thanks Juhap.  I forget my periodic table abbreviations (like I ever knew them); but, is that a copper - nickel alloy?

Yes, it is Copper-nickel alloy. It is non-corrosive and very easy to bend.

I believe that is the stuff that Vovlo (?) uses as oem,  perfectly legal here in the states, my local supplier carries it, but it has quite a price tag. If you live in the snow/salt belt, well worth it if you plan on keep the car for an extended period of time.....
