View Full Version : Rear Brake Hoses

I am looking for a place to locate brackets for my rear brake hoses.
I notice that there is what looks like a purpose built bracket attached to the plate underneath where the fuel tanks go (there are 2 tabs, with preformed holes). Can I assume these are brackets for the brake flexibles? I remember seeing a picture somewhere, where someone was using these, but can't find it again.

Only issue I have with these is do you actually need to approach the caliper from along the chassis member in order not to foul the wheel?

Any info gratefully received

Regards

Iain

Hi Iain, you've found the right brackets. Run copper pipig to the back of this bracket and the flexible pipe from there to the calliper. The flexible pipe can be strapped to the rear suspension leading link to ensure it doesn't foul the wheel or the driveshaft.

Guy,

Thanks. I knew I had seen a photo somewhere, but could find it a second time and didn't want to do the wrong thing and have to re route the copper.

Regards

Iain
