Thats correct http://www.jetpress.com/Products.asp...eClips-Triple/ is the clip I've used. If you are using the Sierra rear uprights then Sylvian can have made ups ome flexi pipes with an angled bend on so you don't have clearance issues. see https://sites.google.com/site/hydrau...s/special-case (the orange uprights are on my car)

Thanks for the links, exactly what I should use. I am running discs on the rear but the flexis look ideal.

I've used the same clips as Ian - they are very good. Also 2 pipes to the front, one to the rear and split with a T piece... debated on a pressure reducer (I'm running discs), I guess I'll just have to see!
I welded on some tabs to the side of the drive tunnel and riveted an aluminium strip in position to hold the clips.

Hi,
I was away, and just read this thread. Thanks for the nice comments about the brake lines. I stopped working for the company making the brake lines, so I have to check with them how we can manage further orders... not sure about that... Neil, have you figured out how to route your rear lines? As said above, front and rear circuit should be separated, and if you use the original donor master-cylinder, you have two ports at the front of the M/C for the front lines (one to the left front calliper, one to the front right calliper) and 1 port at the rear of the M/C for the rear lines. Then, this brake pipe/line should be split in 2 with a tee-piece. Personally, - I preferred routing the brake pipes/lines, on the upper tubes of the chassis as much as possible. They are more protected this way. But with this set-up, the brake fluid reservoir should be above the level of the highest point of the brake circuit (safety in case of a leak) - I have welded the rear brake lines bracket on RS7/RS7a, I think it makes more sense than where the book says to weld them (closer to the rear brakes and above the rear top wishbones) - I also put the tee piece directly on the left rear bulkhead fitting, so it is less pipes, fittings, clips, etc., as on the pictures below: 2014-03-22_17-46-53 by Sylvain ROIG, sur Flickr 2014-03-22_18-17-26 by Sylvain ROIG, sur Flickr 2014-03-22_18-17-42 by Sylvain ROIG, sur Flickr Do not hesitate to contact me on my personal email if I can be of any help. Thanks and good luck!

Thanks for the update, at the moment I have only temporarily put the pipes in. I am using copper tube through tunnel then into flexis. Your pics are great
Pleased you mentioned about the height, I would have fell foul on that one. How did you raise it and pipe to pedal?

I made a support in aluminium to put the reservoir on the bulkhead, and connected the reservoir to the M/C with low pressure brake fluid hose, clamps on the reservoir connections, and male/male hose connectors on the M/C ends.
Pictures will speak better than me https://www.flickr.com/photos/994983...57643576951405 If you use a Sierra reservoir, I can send you the drawing of the support so you can print your own stencil if you want. Cheers.

Great info, quick question about separating the resevoir. Does it just simply 'pull' off the m/c? And when you connect the male/male adaptor do they just push fit into the m/c?
Thanks
