There was a thread on here and the fella split a copper brake line and pushed it on the opening round the edge then soldered it in place but i cant rember which thread

Ok so, standard.



Standard facing forward.



The intended finished arrangement. This my spare inlet with the 90 degree bit chopped off.

Ok so why couldnt we just chuck on the inside of the tube and turn a grove in?

The id is about 28mm. Have you any internal jaws that small?

Pedal box is more or less done. I need to hook up the hydraulics and test it. I also glued some this rubber flooring to the floor as it just felt like it needed it. Should dampen the floor panel too.

I will have a look in the morning

[Rosco]

Looking good! You can get some pipes done now, you will be caught me up soon!

[norton]

Cheers bud, I'm on a role again!leave the chuck, I've tested out clamping a hose to it, I really cannot pull the bugger off!

You could just file a couple groves in. They don't need to be particularly deep and the corner of a square file will make short work of it.

You can put a piece of hose on it and file against the edge of the hose to get a straight edge all the way around.

Thanks guys, I should've added that I've used the book pedal box and wilwood style cylinder.

The master and slave cylinders are so close together that the hose will be difficult to create in such a way that it looks 'right'.

I'll try manipulating the oem parts as suggested or failing that I'll get a hose made.

Re the pump inlet I have filed some grooves into it. With the correct size hose and a jubilee clip I can suspend my own weight from it. Jerking it doesn't move it either. I core plugged the heater hose join and wound a bolt into the small 8mm inlet which I cut and filed but I now realise I needed that! I have another for a mk2 version..

I'll post some pics once things are finished.
