There are quite a few vehicles out there with rear calipers that still have a set of shoes running on the inside of the disc bell for the hand brake.

it is indeed that kit.

made a start on the brake lines yesterday, got the rear T-piece mounted then started to flare the pipes from the T to the flexi. didn't get very far until the brake pipe flaring thing broke and nearly took my thumb with it.

one of these......

does anyone know of a decent flaring tool which isn't going to try and kill me? this one is being sent back to Sealey with an 'angry' letter!

also where would people run the brake lines in the transmission tunnel, i was thinking,

Brake - drivers side (top)
Fuel - drivers side bottom
Wiring - passenger side top

any advice much appreciated

Cheers

I've got one of those kits and never had much success until I picked up on a top tip - dip the die in brake fluid before you flare (in fact cover everything in it!). Totally changed the quality of flairs the kit produced.

hmm, will give that a try when i get a replacement sent.

this is what happened, wasn't swinging off it or anything, to be honest i could have put a lot more pressure on it.....


the sharp bit on the tool itself cut into my thumb and made one hell of a mess!

didnt expect this from a sealey product, they're usualy quite good
