Hi

Could some body tell me as if this the correct way to run the brake pipe from the Sierra's master cylinder to the front and the rear pipes.

There are 3 ports from the M/C , the one at the back to the back wheels and the 2 at the front one to O/S and the other to the N/S?

Dead right with your last paragraph.Back to rear front to left and right.

as Flyerncle has said, just a little further info......

the forward union is off side front
center union is near side front
rear union is to the rear T piece

as when flyerncle & i stripped my car, i bent the bits of cut brake pipe that was still attached to the M/C in the direction they were originally feeding to.;)

:confused: Sorry to be thick, but when you say forward union do you mean the one closest to the pedal or closest to the front of the car?

Fraid so !

All credit to the trainer ( did last 5 year one ) he did point out a few things I did not know about computerisation and things you could and could not do.

At least it was a few days away from the same old, same old. :)

The lads at my local VOSA station are a great bunch.

The tester who done my class7 Transit test this year even took the time to show me a fault on my Ford VVcarb :cool:

"Paul, am i that easy a target???? "

See what I mean.....

Under supervision Andy !

Correct again Ronnie,at least they are more tester friendly these days and there is less of "Them and Us" but they are still The Ministry.

Andy, I am only tugging your chain matey.
