Evening people

How on earth do diagonal split brake systems work? and where do the lines run? and is there still a proporting valve in the rear subframe?

-confused kiwi!

Those things are the spawn of the devil, invented and used in UK.
Thank God we never got them here in Oz... :lol:

Are you sure it is a diagonal split brake system, I have never seen one on a Aust Built Mini Or Moke

No Oz Minis ever got a square UK tunnel.
Even our late Clubbies 75? on with the rodchange box still got the round tunnel, hydro channels in floor, even the bump where the 850 starter used to be.
Sounds like your car had been revinned, if it has an Oz body prefix... :wink:
