I didn't bother to do one
but it is about 2 inches in diameter and simply circles on itself once or twice leaving enough to go into the brake bias valve.

| Post subject: | Brake pipe question..how long where it goes etc |
as the topic sates. i fitted the new pipe i had made yesturday...started from the engine bay..went between the subframe and body of car...and followed the same path the original went i think...im sure the main pipe from front to rear goes the same rute as the hydro pipe on the drivers side??? im not running hydro anymore so i had room to fix it to the floor... but when i got to the rear the pipe is about 10 inch to long??? now im thinking ive not followed the parth i was ment to . dose anyone have a photo of where they put there main line and the path they took?? i gse ill just have to cut and re do the end so its not as long. i had the whole brake pipe kit made buy a mini mob here in melbourne and all other pipes fitted great no hassle. advice welcome. |

There is a 'pig tail' on the end where it goes into the pressure regulator on the read sub frame - about 2½"-3" in diameter - that would take up 10" |

I'll take a pic when I get home - It's purpose is to provide strain relief between the body and the subframe that moves on it's rubber mounts |

Resting it in lots of muck and rotten fruit for a while will make the piggy a little easier to work with ... |
