| 00:00 | Before we dive into the course, it's important to understand that altering the components or structure of your vehicle could potentially be dangerous if not done correctly. |
| 00:09 | This doesn't just come down to the quality of your work, but also the parts and the materials used. |
| 00:15 | So if you have any doubt about the integrity of your plumbing, or the suitability of a part you intend to use, we recommend you seek the guidance of a suitably qualified engineer. |
| 00:26 | It's also important to understand that not every modification will result in the improvement you may be expecting. |
| 00:33 | For this reason, it's critical to have a complete understanding of the system as a whole, and the likely implications that your changes could have. |
| 00:42 | Being mindful that you're testing them in the right environment and you won't damage other components. |
| 00:48 | Some modifications may also be illegal for road use in some parts of the world, or for race use in specific classes. |
| 00:56 | Nobody wants to waste their time and money producing a vehicle that can't legally be used for its intended purpose. |
| 01:03 | So it's your responsibility to check with your local road authority or motorsport governing body to ensure that your modifications fit within the technical regulation guidelines. |
| 01:13 | Specifically relevant to plumbing, there are materials and fittings that can't be used for certain purposes in particular race series. |
| 01:21 | So again, be sure to check before spending the money on these parts and time constructing and installing the lines. |
| 01:28 | In some cases, this means working with a qualified engineer throughout the process to ensure that things are being done correctly. |
| 01:36 | It may be all well and good understanding the theory, but often the practical reality tells a different story. |
| 01:43 | So, if you're not confident with your ability to undertake safe and effective automotive plumbing, then please consider asking a professional to check over your plans at the very least before diving in. |
