Im pretty sure if the flexi is prone to touching (and think when being driven) that it will need to be re-routed so it wont or secured. Wrapping it with something wont stop the contact.



I fitted flexi's direct to wheel cylinder and didnt need to faff on with small solid pipes and brackets.

it wil result in the same pressure losts both rear wheels wil act more the same while unther braking.



It makes no difference whatever length the pipes are - you are still moving the same volume of fluid so the pressure is still the same.


This is wrong totally wrong.

The brake tube has resistance, and if one tube is longer it has more resistance.
every one knows that the longer the tube the more pressure you loose.

what generates the brake force is not the volume you move but the force you apply to the pistons and thats the pressure!
the pressure is calculated by the ratio

i'm with you that it wont make a huge difference but hey! it does make one!

sow if the resistance of the left part is 1 bar higher then the other side then before the fluid goes to the left you have applied 1 bar pressure on the right side of the wheel.

as easy as that!

TKS it will make no difference to braking, don't confuse the chap.

On cars with diagonal split braking systems the front lines are way shorter than the rears and there is no problem at all.





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning
