Does anyone know if any pipework will be included, particularly from the calipers to 'somewhere' inboard? Similarly, ANY of the 'visible' pipework/wiring included? Roy.

 Hi Roy, I don't think much, if any, wiring at all is included with this model and similarly the pipework. To be honest I think with current race car technology, all brake pipes are routed through the carbon wishbones on the real cars nowadays and a short flexible hose exits right at the very end by the upright trunnions and above the calipers which will be hidden by the wheels anyway, so not much to show really ?? The clutch pipes that you mention in your topic title don't exist either I think, as most Formula One clutches are only used when pulling away from a standing start and I am sure that the clutches are operated 'Fly-by-Wire' with an onboard computer through hidden electrical wiring and servos, etc, - hence the need for the drivers to 'set' the clutch 'bite point' when sitting on the grid - so again no pipework would be visible externally ?? Some home-made basic ignition/computer wiring and cooling/hydraulic pipework could be added to the engine bay area if you can manage to find suitable reference material, but that is hard to find nowadays, as F1 teams are notoriously secretive in what is on or in their cars !! Hope that helps ??  Kev
