Brake line setup?
So, I'm ready to run some brake lines on my chassis.
I'm using a Sierra master cylinder with 3 outputs, 2 to the front and one to the back. Route to the back is easy, as in its a conventional one
line with a 3 way T to each side.
At the front I have 4 pot calipers that came off a 93 Range Rover and as such have dual circuits to the 2x2 setup in the caliper. Off the vehicle they
had 2 hoses each side down to each caliper. The calipers themself look very much like Princess 4 pots..
So I intend to run a line from each output on the MS down to a 3 way T and double back round the front of the chassis to the other side. So each MS
output will control 4 pots, 2 on each side.
Like this:
Any thoughts on this layout?

Not sure what the logic is, the pipes which crossover from one side to the other perform no function as they are all coming from the same MC port.

This is exactly the same result

In the first diagram for the wheels to turn you will need twice as many flexible pipes. Princess 4 pots had an input and a crossover done with a
separate link pipe didn't they ?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Yep, my idea was to have each MS output use 2 pots either side so if one circuit failed the other would still give even (if reduced) braking.
But I think I'll bridge the calipers and just run a single line to each side.
This looks a nifty solution?
