Hi all, trying to sort out my frunk now it is properly welded up and repainted but not sure I have the brake lines laid out right. Check out picture below:
Are those brake lines along the rear bulkhead correctly positioned,. I'm not sure as they feel a bit forced but I can't see how else they fit. Not sure They are supposed to cross over each other like that tbh.
Oh, and if anyone has a picture about how they connect under the car behind the spare wheel well I'd be obliged - specifically in relation to these two fitting things:
(sorry for the poor focus)
Thanks

Re: Brake pipe help
Thanks Chris
Should have taken pictures when I was dismantling it all but it looked straightforward at the time

Re: Brake pipe help
Thats the easy one just connect the pipe to the union it drops onto the clutch pipe is thicker than the brake pipe so you cannot get them mixed up

Re: Brake pipe help
I wish...
Not done anything with it for about a month but had a go on Friday and managed to brake the metal spring post on one of the rear brake calipers
I'm guessing they are not available separately either!

Re: Brake pipe help
Can the post be removed Richard? You might be able to swap one over from a second hand unit without having to redo all the prep work and painting.

Re: Brake pipe help
Yeah post is removed - it is just an interference fit.
Will be putting a shout out in the wanted section soon.
