Onto the brakes and clutch... This wasnt the most fun job but was still enjoyable.
To jog your memory, i will be using Minisport 4 pot calipers with vented disc brakes at the front and standard drums on the rear all fed from a brand new 'yellow tag' dual circuit master cylinder. I chose not to use a brake booster for simplicity and that i dont mind the feel of the brakes without, on the rear i have a proportioning valve that eliminates the rear brakes from locking up under hard braking. The clutch master cylinder is also brand new and is the standard mini one which from research was perfectly fine using with the clutch slave clyinder of the 4EFTE gearbox providing you used the 7/8" bore slave.
I had originally posted a topic on Ausmini.com covering a dual circuit brake master system setup as there was mixed answers on the forums from years ago. So i concluded that i would use the following and drew it up for future (now current) reference. Very simple.

You will now see my brake and clutch lines all done up and flared by me. Not 100% perfect but i think they still look nice. The most annoying part was removing the engine and ancillaries.
Here is the clutch slave piping. I purchased a custom made flexible hose from Perth Brake Parts to allow for engine movement.
