Brake Pipe Bulk Head/ Tabs/ Brackets suitable for MR IVA man
Morning Guys,
I`m after a little advise this morning (as usual).
I`ve run my brake pipes on the car but my chassis doesn`t come with brake line bulkheads/tabs/brackets as standard and therefore I have to make some
up and fit them for the flexi`s (which I would like to order this weekend from Russ).
As my chassis is already powder coated welding isn`t really an option so my engineering head is telling me a 2 inch peice of angle bar bolted/riveted
to the chassis (in a suitable location).
I really want to make sure these are SAFE and will make me IVA man happy.
Sound OK?
All the best
Stuart

Bolted on should be OK provided the bolt hole isn't significantly weakening the chassis. I'd think you'd be OK with bigish rivets
but not 100%.

6mm rivenuts (probably over kill) and a L bracket will do.
You can use hard line if you like using the proper break line cips, using the L braket as a place to covert from hard-line to flexy pipe.

Stuart 2mm ali angle held with a pair of normal 1/8 rivets should be fine. Unless there is something drastically wrong with the brake line
installation there should be virtually no load on these mountings anyway & if the chassis is sufficently marginal that you couldn't safely
drill a few 1/8 holes in it here & there then I think you have more major probs on your hands!!!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
