Flexy brake pipes and rear drums ??

[frankie boy]

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.

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?

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.

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. 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.
