 Step 4: Detailing the Engine Bay
 Wiring and Plumbing in the Engine Bay
I connected the oil pipes(to oil pump and oil entrance) and the compressor
wires to engine.
I joined the drive shafts to wheel hubs, and put the heat shields on chassis.
I loaded the engine to chassis. two compressor wires were wired along left
wall of engine bay.
I laid the cooling water pipes. The plumbing of LP400S(Early type) is almost
same with LP400.
I replicated the joint hoses(pipe guards) and clamp rings to radiators
and cooling water tank. The hose of water tank was connected to the pipe
from water pump.
I put the ignition coils to engine bay, and wired the motor cables between
they and distributors.
The position of caution plates that the instructions for this kit directs
is a mistake. The correct position is this picture's one. I used the decal
of Hasegawa 1/24 Miura for the caution plates because the size of this
kit's decal was too large.
I replicated the cooling water pipes valve because it was omitted.
I put the oil filter to engine bay. One of two oil pipes of the oil filter
is connected with oil pump of the engine block, and one another is connected
with oil thermostat.
I replicated the oil thermostat and electric connectors because they were
omitted.
I put this part and connected some oil pipes to it.
I laid the cooling water pipes between right radiator and water pipes valve.
I put the vacuum tank, and connected the brake lines to it. The fuel tube
from engine was laid to left fuel tank.
I replicated the joint parts and screw between left radiator and cooling
water tank.
Wiring the Brake Lines
Two lines are wired to rear brake system. The left line is for parking
brake, and the right line is for foot brake. I wired parking brake lines
along lower arms. The foot brake lines were wired from rear suspension
arms to transmission tunnel.
I scratch build the tie-rod for parking brake with brass line, pipe and
vinyl cord. I put the tie rod to chassis, and connected the parking brake
lines to it.
The whole picture of parking brake system.
This is the front brake lines. Those are wired along upper arms.
the tie-rod for front wheels was exchanged for 0.5mm brass line.
Engine Bay was finished
About wiring and plumbing , I was able to copy them almost thoroughly to
real 1:1 countach LP400S early type because I got detailed data.
