Flexi brake hoses
bigandy - 15/5/05 at 06:52 PM

Evening all,

Does anyone know if the flexible brake hoses are allowed to be clamped to a wishbone halfway along their length?

I'm trying to ensure they don't rub on anything during suspension movement/steering movement and it looks like the only way to do it is if I use 2 P-Clips to clamp the hoses to the upper wishbone.

Cheers
Andy

Big andy, I recall Snuggs ahd a discussion with his SVA man about this and use of 2 p-clips. Try U2U ing him.

I think this is one area with no clear guidelines and a bit of interpretation. My fathers failed 'cos he used clips and insulating tape - the testers dont like it if you rely in tape adhesive. Sorry i cant help more than that.
