Two abs wires were very good. The rear were not so good. Outer sleeve was starting to crack. I covered in good quality insulation tape. If they were worse, I do have abs cable I was going to use but I was reluctant to cut them. They came out fine.
I'm short of one spring clip which holds the handbrake cable onto the caliper if anyone has a spare.
Also got new plastic caps for the abs sensors from Tradition. A little ceramic brake grease here.

What does the clip look like Dave? I'll have a look.
Decent ABS sensors are unicorn poo.
What are your cables like? Mine were rotten, the rubber sleeving was just falling off, so I re-wired them with screened signal cable and glue lined t gt eat shrink, they work perfectly.
I got my thinking head on re front brake splash guards. Not easy to find and expensive. The main object of the guard is to keep the heat from damaging the abs sensor and lower ball joint boot. The guards sent by Auto doc, even with cutting weren't going to work.
Cut some templates from card.
Transferred to some 2mm aluminium sheet and cut to shape.
Then test fit with disc.
Final trim.
Etch primer and then satin black in the spray booth.
So while they were drying I thought I would finish the back brakes.
I found these new old stock pads on Facebook marketplace near me for £5!
The calipers and discs are new as are slide pins and bolts.

I made up a new splash guard from tractor inner tube. Strange there is only one on the nearside on the Ur.
Tie rods were fitted. These failed quality control last week so have been stripped and painted again. There were one or two rust spots coming through.
And then drive shafts. All new cv joints.
And I got this from Rob on the forum. Very impressive copy of the original.
I'm waiting for my new boost hoses which are coming from Germany. I got stung this time with import duty. Cry.
They are in the Swansea Parcel Force depot for the weekend sadly.
Basically everything I fitted yesterday had to come back out again.
I realised I had mis routed the cable that runs to the back of the fan and the two sensors for the brake bomb. I re routed them no problem but when re fitting the bottom sensor connector on the bomb, one of the terminals snapped off. To get access, the radiator, etc was in the way.
Unfortunately there isn't enough room from underneath.
The offending sensor. I suspect it got a knock when in storage.
No this sensor isn't available in the uk and looks expensive from Germany. A quick chat with the Oracle (Newsh) and he suggested that it could be repaired. Following his instructions I ended up with this.
