Very cool gear mate. The fittings look fantastic. Shame about the tubing. I have a urge to get white lol.

A quick update for you all:
I ordered the cable sleeving today - I couldn't find copper braid to the spec that I wanted and too many people are using plain old PET sleeve, so I went for Nylon.
The nylon sleeve that I will be using is made to military spec and looks damn sexy IMO.
* UV resistant
* Operating Temp. -49°F to 248°F
* Melt Temp. 250°C / 482°F
* Excellent for sound and rattle control
* Compliant with European Union's Restrictions on the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
NM's fabric-like softness and flexibility hide surprisingly tough specifications. The high coverage sleeving meets or exceeds military specifications MIL-I-47203(MI) and MIL-S-47053(MI). Nylon Multifilament is highly resistant to abrasion, cuts, common automotive and marine chemicals, UV damage and vibration. It will not rot or retain moisture.
The only downside is that I had to order 100-225' of each size as a minimum... so I guess all my future projects will sport this sleeve... and the Buick will get some too.
HERE IS A VIDEO
On another note... I also ordered a custom license plate for the Buick - "D VADER"

What diameter did you get? I'm looking for some sleeve to cover speaker wire for my GlaDos speakers. Maybe we could work something out. We'd have to work out the details somewhere else as to be kosher with forum rules, but I would be willing to buy some off you if it is what I need.
The build looks great.
That sleeving does look good.

@d_stilgar - I ordered minimum purchase lengths of 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4". I'd be happy to part with some once I get it.

@DonT-FeaR - Thanks for the thread man, I appreciate that - very cool of you. As for the plate, I went with Vader because when Buick released the car back in the 80's it's nickname was 'Darth Vader' - I wanted to bring some of that nostalgia, that I was too young to appreciate, back.

I got some more stuff form cableorganizer.com.
Some 'side-entry sleeving' called DuraWrap.
# Tightly woven ballistic nylon construction
# Heavy duty, oversize hook & loop closure
# Resistant to engine chemicals and salt water
# Water, gasoline, and UV resistant
# High abrasion resistance
Dura Wrap is the perfect solution for organizing and controlling cables and hoses that are subject to constant exposure. This sleeve is made from one of the strongest materials known, ballistic nylon. The tightly woven nylon is paired with an industrial hook and loop closure to provide a durable and flexible sleeving.
Dura Wrap is ideal for keeping wires or hoses together or covering chains and hoses to protect the surfaces they run across. The sleeve provides the best abrasion resistance and water repellence when compared to other nylon sleevings.
The flexibility featured by Dura Wrap makes it easy to install over single or multiple hoses. The high strength and durability also help to protect operators or other personnel safe from high-pressure fluids that may be travelling in the hoses.
I opted for the 2.5" variety as I figured it would be a good way to manage the mess of cables that will cascade out the back of this machine when it's up and running.
I'm loving this website, some great stuff on there... check out these.
