Brake pipe tab placement
 

Wheres the best place to put the little brake pipe taps on the chassis?
I'll be running drums on the rear.
I think the book location for the fronts looks ok not sure about the rear, do I need a tab on the rear upright also?

Mike

dont bother with the fronts. they dont pass iva fix the flexis to the side panel and the copper on to the back at the front.

have a look at my photobucket for where i put the rear ones.

Thanks ash I've looked in your photobucket but its vast so haven't found the right pictures.

Is that for ali and grp side panels?? I didn't get an answer the other week when I asked.

Yes, use a bulkhead fitting and go through the side panel.

Ally panels would be less flexible than glass and would be tempted to reinforce glass panel with ally at the rear of the panel and large washer at the front as Mark says with bulkhead fitting.

HI guys, why is it that the bracket doesn"t pass iva surely it would be stronger than either panels?
cheers

It's not the bracket the problem, the flexi pipe is not allowed to touch the edge of the hole on full lock each way. So you would have to put in a very big hole.

Think we need some photo's of this.
I don't like the idea of fixing the piper to a thin side panel just doesn't seem right. surely if the tab is very close to teh side panel you wouldn't need a big hole.
A few pictures might help or maybe I'm just being thick tonight :D

Mike you are being THICK sorry..:D ...run your copper pipe up to a bulkhead fitting in the side panel then from that fitting you fix your braided(dont go using rubber jonny pipe pleeeease!!) hose down to your caliper
