Front Brake Flexi's
Morning!
Probably a stupid question but hey here goes, what position have you put your front brake flexi to avoid it touching on the arch or the wishbone, i
have tried a couple of different ways and they seem to touch. I have valve springs in the rack to reduce the lock and help with self centre.
Sorry for the dumb ass question but need to get it sorted tonight as they may not like it at nottingham tommorrow!

I think Hellfire has some pics on his site. There are many approaches to solve this. I think the normal way is a small twist in the pipe (must be
small else the pipe may kink), to perswade the pipe to coil up slightly..

I tie wrapped a 50mm piece of rubber hose around the flexi, and tied that to the upper wishbone.
Passed ok.
HTH,
James

Mike, try putting a twist in them (if you haven't tried that already) If all else fails, get yourself down to Hose Direct and they might
be able to knock up some shorter ones for you.
