Flexy brake pipes and rear drums ??

[jasongray5]

Whats everyone else done with the above?:confused:

I haven't bought any flexy hoses yet, but looking at it, clearance is going to be tight where is goes into the slave cylinder.

Has anyone got picture of what they did? or are doing?

Cheers Jas Gray

If I remember correctly, didnt you get those fittings from Rally Designs? If so, would you mind telling me what I will need and how many of each! as I want to try and sort out the brakes this week?

8 m10 flexi brake pipe ends. http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=85_248_249&products_id=1520

8 bulk head lock nuts
3m braided tube

the lock nuts dont seem to be listed on the site and i cant remember which size braided tube you need. i will have a look on my invoice tonight for the part codes.




for the fixed lines you will need the following. you can get it all from cbs or most local motorfactors. i already had all the below so dont have part codes. i have plenty of male m10 ends left as i got a box of 50. if you want a few give me a shout.

roll of copper tube
11 normal m10 male ends
6 m10 female ends
2 m10 t pieces
1 m10 Brake pressure sensor

if you need any more info just ask

I think thats what its for Ray!

One "tee's " the rear brakes L/R .The other contains the switch.

[AshG]

one for the rear split to left and right and the other for the brake pressure switch.

you can get away with one t piece on the rear if you use a mechanical brake light switch on the brake pedal.

Hi Ash
Rent a lond wheel base luton. You can get the car in it and sleep. Took my car to stoneleigh 2007 in one. have been thinking of going to exeter this year.

[jasongray5]

Ash, Why is it that 8 bulk head lock nuts are needed for the flexi hoses?
I can count one for each front brake where it connects to the chassis, then 2 for each rear wheel, one for the chassis, one for the upright?

Cheers mate?

[AshG]

well spoted. you actually need 6. i just got 8 as i wasnt thinking at the time of purchase. i used the extra 2 on the front calipers just finger tight to cover the excess thread.

happy to help.

HI Ash
Looking at the photo of the front wish bone in my experience the hole for the brake flex will need to be bigger.:eek: Its not to touch the body even with the rubber. You could bolt one end to the body panel keeping it a neater look.

Ash, your photo's are first class.

It's not often that a builder consistently takes clear photo's that show exactly what the photographer is trying to convey.
