brake pipes
mad-butcher - 11/4/03 at 07:47 PM

a few of you know what I do for a living.so imagine my delight when a customer came in and asked if I would swop so beef burgers and sausage for a barbeque for what he had in a carrier bag.
10 meters of goodridge braided hose and about 8 banjo fittings that just happened to be lying around at work.I of course declined don't want to encourage dishonesty. My A##E.
what I need to know is has anyone piped in an indy drum brake rear end without using that short piece of rigid pipe and bracket the banjo will mount on the slave but you have to slacken the back plate off to get the bolt in. and I'm a bit concerned about the routing

There is a post elsewhere (in sva i think ) about the fittings on the end of braided hose, the wrong fittings will fail sva ...
just in case you hadn't seen it.

My Indy has drums on the back and I have run my rubber flexis from a bracket on the chassis direct into the slave cylinder. I don't appear to have any routing issues and didn't see the need for a small section of rigid pipe from the slave cylinder to a bracket fixed to the upright. If you want I can take a picture and post it in the morning.

What is a banjo fitting? I know what they look like but what are the benefits over conventional fittings?
