Query: Brake pipe mounting.
Mark H - 3/2/03 at 10:35 AM

Hi everyone.

Got engine running last night! I'm now at the stage where i need to do the SVA tidy up, and my first issue is one of holding the brake pipes secure.

My plan is to put a rubber strip on the bottom chassis rail, then tie-grip the pipes onto the strip at regular intervals. This is quicker and easier than p clips.

Do you think this would pass the SVA?

Thanks in advance,

Mark (getting excited now!)

WOOHOOOO nice one mate.

Oh and I dunno.

Helpful as ever...

I'm not sure I understand what you're proposing.

However, this is one area where it's better to go OTT in your efforts, to convince the tester that they are well and truly fixed, rather than leaving them 'iffy'.

The same goes for the fuel pipe and wiring loom - firmly fixed and kept apart.

rgds,

David

This sounds like good advice.
