More Brake Pipes

After the pivot brackets - seeing as I was in the mood for doing things I'd been putting off - I thought I'd do the front brake pipe feed. As the pipes are made up and of fixed length it was going to be tricky to get it to fit as it followed a slightly tortuous route.

Anyways, after a lot of bend it, try it, bend it, try it etc..... the job was done - reasonably neatly as well as a bonus!
You can see that the pipe is held in place with masking tape at the minute - I need to get a rivet nut gun so I can fix the pipe clips to the chassis. I could just rivet the clips in place - but bolting them into rivet nuts allows the pipes to be easily removed. It's nice to have such confidence in one's own work!
