Hi folks,
Just a quick question. Has anyone fitted their connecters as in this photo? Just thoughts

and comments on it. Cheers. Peter

That T piece needs fixing to stop vibration.you are unable to clip any of this pipe to the chassis in your set up.
Rotate the T so main input goes to MC, 1 branch goes to NS wheel & then make a short pipe onto the other Output.
Also this means if you want to remove the flexi you don’t have to remove the whole T piece

No pipes are fixed or bent at all at that point, only to the calliper.
It was a case of... what would happen if we screwed that on there....? Someone must have done it.

Can’t remember if the T piece has the correct internal face to seal correctly to the flexi?

just wondering why you want to pipe it up like this?

As my original question said ................Has anyone fitted their connecters as in this photo? Just thoughts ....I didn't say I wanted to.

Agree dont think the flex does have at that end the correct face as it is shaped to fit a female union that has a flared end brake pipe in it and the t-union has a face for a male with flared pipe...

All new brake lines fitted and bled following the book, only one leak from a finger tight joint.
Now have working discs on the front (Heystee ones).
Just a few smaller jobs to do then on to the body work.
