On my 77 van, the brake pipe goes from the master to the T piece mounted to the bracket which involves the clutch hose and engine steady.

My 76 clubby sedan is in pieces and there is no allowance for the T piece on the brakcet, does it go to the box section under the master or to the diagonal brace to the inner guard?

It goes straight down from the master cylinder down to the brake switch y-peice......if i have a car here with the same set up i will take a pic and post it up for you.

No no, higher up than that, real close to the master.
Where do i actually fit the T piece that splits the line to the back onto the car?

The top one might have helped if i could see where the brake pipe went.
Heres pics of mine, on the van its easy to see the T is bolted on the bracket, no such bracket on the blue mini...
The hole in the bulkhead is for the choke cable (even though i don't use them...), the small far left hole is where earths bolt to to i think it must bolt to the slightly larger hole 2nd from left...

If it's going to use a single line system, I'd just braze a nut on the firewall and screw that bolt in. :wink:

Nice suggestion, but then i would be damaging my pretty paint, and besides i ran out of oxygen...
I think i will just bolt it to the choke hole.

Tombo,
Your missing the little bracket that is bolted on with the clutch cylinder hose to the body.
Have a close look at those pics mate.

yeh as dave said, the piece with the vertical fold in it that your T piece goes onto is a seperate piece and is what your after. It sits on top of the bracket welded to the fire wall, under that nut.

I'm sure I've got one somewhere I could send you Tom, but have a hunt through your bits'n'bobs - though it'd take you 2 minutes to make one with a bit of angle and a bolt & nut

Yeah i see that bracket now. Oh well, it's bolted to the firewall now, looks neat too. 8)
Put in fluid, bled and now it has brakes :D
Purple fluid, dot 5 silicone fluid, stable boiling temp and wont soak moisture from the air to corrode cylinders, which are stainless sleeved now anyway. Not cheap.
