Brake pipe to rear disks
After some advice on brake pipe connections to rear calipers.
The braided flexis which came with the brake pipe kit are not long enough to connect directly to the rear calipers. Do we need to manufacture a
bracket, and if so, how does it mount to the caliper (assuming it needs to be caliper mounted to allow for movement)
Or do we need longer flexis ??
Any advice would be appreciated.

I put banjo's on the pipe (caliper end) for easier fitting of pipe,and then run the flexi to T-piece on top hoop arond the diff.
Seen it done on a couple of other indy's so thought it was good enough for me.
heres a pic with brake stop switch fitted pre-flexi

Bob, where you have the T piece, we have a welded bracket on the chassis to connect the flexi to. Forgive my ignorance, but what is a banjo ? (other
than a small guitar like instrument! ) Do you have a similar picture of the caliper?
Thanks

As we are not in possession of an SVA manual yet, can anyone tell me if the length of the braided flexis to the rear brake calipers is limited. ie,
Fixings for brake pipes must be =< 300mm but is there a maximum length of flexi allowed?

Sorry no pic of the "banjo"fitting,and your right just imagine the neck of a banjo as the flexi and the round bit with a hole in for bolt.
