Found this one which helps...

Its the same everywhere :(... .I am restoring a 45 year old classic and the reproduction parts are ****e..... with the exception of rubber which perishes over time the seals, o rings and fittings from the original vehicle re-fitted are better...

Welcome brother :) Looks lovely and I am sure she will do you proud.... Stick with it and get posting when you have issues or just to see progress. Both my vehicles have been late night purchases, and both bad ones to a certain extent but...
