Back to brakes     Forward to handbrake The new stainless brake tubes. The attachment at the rear axle: Don't forget the foam material at apertures and fastening spots (1)! The two tubes, pointing to the rear wheels run inside the axle and are bolted with nuts outside (2). The position of the tubes is fixed additionally with a small pin (3), which points outward from the drilling. The branch connection at the rear axis is fixed with a 7mm bolt (wrench-size 11mm). Brake hose and fuel line are fixed in parallel with the help of small clamps. The fixings of the spring tubes have gaps, where both lines run through. The first chassis I bought didn't have reinforced stoppers at the front axis so that I could put the lines underneath them without any problems. This picture is from the chassis of my no. 2. I have drilled those fasteners with a 12mm hole. The way around them was too long respectively too exposed to my mind. The master brake cylinder: The connection of the rear wheel brakes can be seen at the left of the photo, the front brakes are attached right. The tube of the frontbrakes runs from here to the 1st fastening spot at the body... ...then to 2nd fastening spot at the body, from here to the two fastening spots at the gearbox and then to the brake caliper at the curbside. The two braking cylinders are connected by a separate piece of brake tube. The vent screw at the brake cylinder of the driver's side (photo right) is the end of this tube.
