I can't find the other end of the attachment points of the "A" "B" "C" coolant lines. Here's a pic of the instruction page (step 30). All other lines make sense. I feel I'm missing some other reference to A, B, and C elsewhere in the instructions but can find any. Anyone build this model?
Thanks
Dave
Edit: I just found the references to the A, B, and C lines. Again, it seems that I find these just after I've asked for help. Another example of RTFM.
Now that you have piqued my curiosity, the answer is???

You can see "A" and "B" in step 24, and "C" in step 33.
I don't know how I missed it. Aging eyeballs!
I built that model last year and I found it to be very challenging build. The most difficult parts were the exhaust headers and the routing of the front brake cooling ducts. What's your opinion?
Your comments and questions are always welcome.

Completely agree. I supported 4 headers at a time with blu-tac and then installed the collector; still needed about 8 hands. Regarding the brake ducts, I wish I hadn't spent so much time making the steering work well. Still, it's a detailed, awesome looking thing; just weird enough.
Regarding the front brake cooling duct - how about black Kynar wire coiled into a hose, and a black shoelace run inside to light block the hose where it bends? I was thinking of trying that on my kit when I get to it.
“Ya ya ya, unicorn papoi!”
Thank you Dave!
Thanks for posting your build. I referred to it many times and "stole" some of your ideas. Mine wouldn't look as good as it does without your pioneering.

I've not handled Kynar wire, but it may be something like Litz wire. You might have trouble keeping the coils together. ?
It wouldn't look the same, but one could try black paracord, or even Tech-flex with paracord inside. It would be a woven look and not corrugated like the real thing. I think the coil springs provided are over scale.
I'm not sure anything would allow smooth steering (if that really matters).
My CDO is still crunching this idea. (CDO, like OCD but the letters are in the proper order as they should be)

I'm glad that my posts were helpful. That's what great about this forum. We can share our ideas.

Dave,
Your idea of using blue-tac to temporarly hold the headers in place is a great idea.
