Now that I have my brake fittings and bundy tube, I want to make up a list of the
brake line lengths so as to be able to make them off the car and bend them into position as required later.
I have a couple of brake pipes I pulled off my old car, but most were damaged in the process. If anybody has any old pipes around and can tell me their straight length
and where it fits on the car that would be of great help to me.
Now my car is a dry type with discs on the front, but I've included other known lines
to help others (whether you make them yourself or give the list to a brake joint).
The list looks like:
Front of mini (all & no booster)
Master cylinder to Tee joint-
Tee joint to brake pressure switch- 425mm
Brake pressure switch to left brake hose- 1120mm (manual) (auto different??)
The one on a front drum assembly-
Rear of mini (dry)
Brake cylinder to hose- 262mm
Brake hose to pressure valve/ tee thing (left side/ long)- 630mm (well, 620-640)
Brake hose to pressure valve/ tee thing (right side/ short)- 154mm
Rear of mini (hydro)
Brake cylinder to hose-
Brake hose to pressure valve/ tee thing (left side/ long)-
Brake hose to pressure valve/ tee thing (right side/ short)-
Booster related
Unknown to me.
Others
Front to rear subframe-
Clutch- 310mm (off a hydro car if it makes a difference)
I'll update the list when or if I get results, and when or if anyone can contribute.
Thanks.
The above image shows what I'm measuring. It's the extreme outside of the flares,
with the nuts pulled back.
