Exactly and lets say you could probably make anything stronger then suzuki standard fittings!

I hope so. If its not stronger than original i am royally screwed. Everything i've done has been done the tried and tested way though. So far anyway. My home made PAS pipe may be a first on here.

If you have the vitara high pressure line then that's all you need, there's one point that it comes apart (in my 1st picture) then you just cut it down to length, re-flare it and bolt it back together

That was for adjusting the steering column. Rad was surprisingly easy to do. Finish it tomorrow and get the alternator in then i can fill it with coolant and fire her up!
I'll see if i can get a vit line tomorrow Scott, all of mine are Jimny bits and i cant see a joint anywhere. I don't want to try bending anything in case it snaps.
