So I made a start on reassembling the rear axle. First off I fitter the new wheel cylinders to each side and then for the first I must say I carefully straightened out the replacement copper piping for the rear braking.
I fitted a new stainless steel braided brake hose to the axle and attached the end of the brake pipe then bent it around toward the right hand back plate locating into the new pipe clips as I went. Then locating the end into inlet at the back of the wheel cylinder.
With the cylinder to cylinder pipe I marked the middle point on the pipe and started bending and fitting to both sides.

This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.
