Live Axle Brake Lines for the Roadster

[Jethrow]

Sirs.

I note there is no specific instructions included on where to run the brake lines for the live axle/3-link design on the roadsters. The kit includes two flexible lines that attach to the calipers, but does not tell you where to terminate them on the chassis, and thus where to mount the small stainless tabs.

Can you advise the best place to do this?

Thx.

Tim,

The rear brake line mounts are usually attached to the 3/4" tubing in the back of the car. The lines point straight at the wheel. You can see the tubing from the top of the car in the first picture.

The second picture is the driver side from the bottom of the car looking toward the front. It has the mount attached to the frame and the "T" fitting splitting the brake line.

The third picture shows the passenger side mount.

Hope these help!

Kind regards,

Thanks guys - that helps a bunch.

cobrajj - I note you are using the 1/4" clips to hold the 3/16" lines. Does that work OK for you, or is it a bit loose?

A bit loose, but it works fine. Maybe someday I might change them to a better looking clamp setup, but right now it seems like a lot of work for something hardly seen. Jim
