Has anyone go any pictures of the front brake routing and fixing point of the Goodridge hoses?. It would be a great help to me.

Thanks

Rob

I've just done mine so can probably do you some photos tonight.

Route them from the master cylinder along the bottom right rail. The nearside line goes along the rail to the left.

I got some ally 90 degree ally from B&Q and cut sections off that for brackets. Rivet that on to the chassis and use that to mount the flexi line.

MK seem to mount the flexi line though the fibreglass, though I preferred not to as I wasn't going to put that on until later.

I also put something like a 180 degree twist in the braided line on the way to the caliper so that it avoided the wishbones.

Here is a pic of mine, the hose has a twist to prevent it fowling the wishbones.

Cheers

Ian


P.S. I made these lines up so I don't know how they compare lenght wise to the ones supplied by MK

here is another pic

here's mine...

Thanks alot guys. Thats given some good options. I think I will use ali. brackets on the chassis to hold the flex hose like Catpuss has.

I think you are going to have the same problem as me as your braided lines to you front calipers are not criped but screwed together.

There is no problem with these at all but
Mr SVA will fail it anyhow.

Sorry, whats them being crimped together? The MK hoses are screw together, is there some fix you have to do to get them SVA happy?

I saw something (though the search seems to be not working very well when I try) about lined hoses. I assume the ones that MK supply as screw in (with the yellow labels on the braid) are fine?

The MK ones I have are assempled and then scrimped together, they screw to the calipers though.

The ones above are screwed together instead of crimped when they are assempled.... Mr SVA doesn't like this and has failed many cars because of this apparently.

I really hope things have changed though as I spent £50 on mine and would hate to throw them out and buy new ones.

Routed mine like so, bit of guess work really on my part.

Looks nice and neat Pez

Has this passed SVA? They don't usually like this much floating in space.

Nice Pezza but what is the a T Peice for halfway down your offside brake line?


Those floating lines need addressing I think too. Loop them up with an extra p Clip. I didn't bother measuring the gaps on mine, just went for a PClip before each bend and one after. Came to around 100mm to 150mm between clips (and intentionally about 100mm along the tunnel). That way if a clip does break I've still got around 300mm spacing rather than a line that could catch on something before I notice it

Pressure switch for the brake lights.
I had already ran the back pipes and forgot to put one in there :p

Nice

I had a right sod getting mine on as I needed to shim out the fitting to allow the switch to clear the bulkhead.

Then I forgot to tighten the switch. I soon noticed when I bled the brakes though

Bugger! Spose I'll have to redo these then?
