Thanks,
I've been working the bugs out and dialing in the suspension and having fun driving it in the process, except when the power steering pressure hose let go....oh well, just part of the process. looks like I need to paint some bolt heads or replace them with stainless steel.

Thanks Tin,
Overall I'm very happy with the way it turned out...there are a few small issues I have to work out but they are very minor and doesn't affect driving it.

Mark,
I made a rookie mistake and didn't use PTFE hose the first time but this time it is. I think your safe, I was worried about the hose first time I assembled it but wanted it to match all the other hoses and took a gamble... And as can tell the gamble didn't pay off. The PTFE hose I used has a black plastic coating so is close enough.

Thanks for the info. I'm ok with the look since its only about 10" long and tucked down low and barely visible. As long as it doesn't blow apart again I'll be happy.
