Brake Flexis
Lander - 30/8/15 at 05:03 PM

Hi All,
I am at the point that I need to purchase the flexible brake hoses that go from chassis to calipers/drums at all 4 corners. What lengths are the flexis that I need. Tiger Avon if that is relevant.
Cheers,
Ian

Hi
You just need to measure the distances from end of your solid pipe to where they fit the caliper but allow a bit extra for the suspension movement. They shouldnt touch anything on the run so be carefull at the front with full steering lock etc. It will be a bit of a guestimate i find if you use a bit of flexible rubber pipe or electric wire it represents the braided pipe run better than limp string.

Hope this helps

Thanks Nick,
I have taken a guesstimate today so fingers crossed.

There´s some flexi and fittings on the "For Sale" Section.

3 mt should suffice.
