Rear brake pipe routing
Jay k - 8/10/07 at 04:15 PM

I have been searching for ages now and I cannot see the woods through the tree's.

I am at the point of fitting the rear copper brake pipes. My pipe runs from the master cylinder down the tunnel on the drivers side lower rail, but has anyone got any photo's of where the T piece is best placed and where the pipes run from this.

Thanks in advance

JK

I copied mine off a westfieldand as it came out by the back of the seat at the top of the tunnel, I put a short 90 degree bend to the left and connected to the axle with a 10 inch braided hose to my copper pipes on the axle.

Hi JK

Here is a pic of where I have fitted the "T" piece on my rear disc brake Indy, it is the idle place. I think this will be O.K. for drums as well.

If you look on my archive you can see to routing.

Good luck

Anyone got any pics of how the rear flexi connects into the rear cylinders?

Cheers RobH for the photo's - looks good.

Duncan Mould - have you any photo's of what you did to make a comparison?

Regarding going into the wheel cylinders I hear people say they run a short copper pipe out of the cylinder and fix a bracket onto the rear upright and then run the flexi to this.

Any more photos of the rear section put them on please.
