Brake line help
pekwah1 - 9/2/12 at 06:06 PM

Hi guys,

Been working on the brakes recently and found something interesting...
Just wanted to check whether this is right or not?

Basically i have a tandem master cylinder, one outlet for front brakes, one outlet for rear.
The fronts goes through a T piece and then a pipe to each caliper.

The rear pipe seems to go to the offside drum, and then where i'd expect to see a bleed nipple, i instead have another line come from that point and into the nearside drum which then has it's own bleed nipple.

So it looks like this:



Is that setup ok or should i have a t piece like the front and a line into each drum?

Regards,
Andy

pretty normal on most live axle cars

Norm but only on Fords most manufacturers use a T piece in the rear barakes.
