Hey Dan, This is quite the build and there's no doubt that none of us what to see you give in on this. As tracksntreadslou said; could you perhaps fabricate some smaller hydraulic fittings? The pipe work looks to dominate the rear section. Given the thread sizes, it was no doubt easy to pick "off the shelf" fittings for plumbing it up, but i'm sure a man like you with such skill could miniturise some of the bigger fittings. Perhaps it may hinder flow rates and performance to some extent, but would result in better setup of the servo's, etc........

Keep at it buddy!
