During the week, the master cylinders, reservoirs and hydraulic lines arrived. My mate Steve (Shireman on OzClubbies) put together the reservoirs and mounted them in their bracket, while I fitted the cylinders above the pedal box. A bit of wrangling with circlips and we had all the cylinders mounted. We then ran the first set of lines down to the distribution plate in the engine bay, and connected up the front and rear brake circuits. the clutch line will be finished once the engine and transmission goes in. The lines to the reservoirs will be connected once the reservoirs are mounted on the scuttle (which is currently off for wiring).My wife said I needed a hobby.....so imagine my surprise when I showed her a picture of a kit car, and said "Let me build this.."......and she said "I think that's a great idea!" So this blog is a chronicle of my efforts to piece together a Birkin S3 Clubman, and a tribute to my wife's patience and understanding.
