  • It’s a bit long, but in this video I make and install the front brakes, shock absorbers, and steering rack.

    I am also happy. Always a treat to watch your videos. Oh, by the way, save those 98 straws for the release party of the Jag. See you soon, take care.

    Looking really good. Unbelievable amount of detail.

    Haha, told you you’d be horrified by the brakes. Nice job!

    Hi there,
    Love that you’re back on the Jag. I will keep on watching today’s episode, but a short note. I remember from building my own Monogram Jag 1:8 manny years ago…. Yes there were springs in those shock absorbers. Ok, now back to the video.

    Great video...As allways. I wonder if you can use the spoked rims from a Pocher kit. And did you ever finished the hood vents for the Jag?

      Thanks! I’ve looked at a couple Pocher wheels, but didn’t see any that are the same. And I haven’t worked on the hood yet. Thanks again!

    Original parts were made by Girling and they were painted RAF Blue Grey BS-633C.

      Cool, thanks for the info. Don’t think I’ll be repainting them though. Maybe. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    That's an awesome idea to superglue the drill bit into the tube. I'm sure you probably already know this but just in case you don't for the drill bit that went in too far you can use a bit of heat to break the bond of the superglue to get it back out, it doesn't take much at all, a cigarette lighter or a heat gun etc. would work great for something that small. Your attention to detail is exceptional and I bet that is going to be one kool jag when it's done. Nice work!

      Thanks! I appreciate that! I actually did know about using heat for that, but for some reason I forget about it. So thanks for the reminder! Thanks again for watching and commenting!
