Brief Description:  Final assembly of front deck structure...

Upon arriving back in the workshop after a long weekend, I gave the brakes system a quick inspection and determined where I left off with the leaking issue and broken line, It was suggested that I add another 1/4 to half a turn on the leaking brakeline fittings. I drained what was left of the fluid in the lines and reset both fittings then retorqed and added the extra turn. This later proved sucssesful in stoping the leak but the sytem is yet to be put under operating pressures. I also removed then re-formed and re-installed the broken solid line which in my previous logs I explained had twisted when I tightened the union at the firewall. with the line back in place and the fitting back on the re-flared end I fitted it and torqed the fitting as instructed. Now the sytem was repaired and ready for bleeding. I had to postpone my work on the brakes to wait for Willem as bleeding requires two people and a method I am not familiar with, so I returned to the final assembly and installation of the front and upper deck and all it's fittings.
