Rear caliper brake lines?
Have just fitted the flexis to my rear brake calipers and found to my horror that the solid end portions on the flexis are so long that they foul the
inside of the wheel rims.
Can anyone tell me whether or not i can get away with running a small length of copper pipe out of my rear calipers, through a bracket on the rear
upright and then into a flexi?
I know this is the way it is normally done on drum brake rears as the rear piston assy is not going to move around but i have never seen it done on
rear calipers.

I'm using 15" rims as suggested in the build manual with standard ford calipers. Can't work out where i'm going wrong!
