jimbona2 - 2/2/08 at 03:08 PM

anyone got a pic of their rear panelling near the diff for the tiger avon?
i currently have this arrangement but someone mentioned I need a lot more back there, not sure what though...

got some pics to help explain what I mean..

I was told the cables are not in the correct position but I dont know enough about this stuff to really know how to correct it.

any advice?
thanks as always

I can't see much wrong except no bolt in the tee and no bracket on the chassis where the flexi's and copper meet.

was told today by a mate that the cable going to the left wheel is in the wrong position? (should be where the arrow is in the pic below)

Won't make any difference.

This makes no difference, because the pressure stays the same in the lines, no matter how it's connected to the T-block.

This is how I did mine and it passed. Hope this helps. Rescued attachment 2006-05-20 car piccys 002.JPG

It won't make any difference!
Brakes work on pressure not by flowing large amounts of fluid.
Leave it as it is.....

Looks like the Torx-bolt on the diff is not tightened!

About the brake-lines:
If you can get the air out I don't see a problem.

Maybe he mented the handbrake-cables?

BTW: what are those yellow-fellows?

the copper pipe is actually sitting on top of the chassis bracket in the piccy....


Where is you brake pressure regulator? and what type have you used? the book shows it at the back near the T but this is a mistake and an SVA fail.... (if you use the sierra one)

On another note... It doesn't look like you have any threads protruding from the suspension bolts?(sav fail) The bolts provided by Tiger are not long enough to allow the proper use of washers at both ends so I had to loose the washer under the bolt head and just use one under the nut....

just bought the brake compensator/ regulator from tiger

they also mentioned it must fit along the prop shaft (i.e. length ways) to pass sva...

has anyone got a photo of it fittered handy?

cheers
