Stellaghost Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Bit of Mog work this morning Started putting caliper brackets and calipers On with an added bit of brake pipe fitting But first I had to clean disc up Regards Stephen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Just put the wheel back on, thought I'd best try because it looked like brake pipes might rub Thankfully they don't, but a bit more securing with cable ties won't hurt All nice and tight in there Regards Stephen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Little late now, but you can get them made up with angled ends to help clearance like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I'm aware of that, have 90 degree ones for the master cylinder, the reality is I should have made the pipes up with sacrificial brake pipe and this would have given me the angles, but they are working so not too worried regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 What about banjo adaptors for the pipes that stick out? It should just screw together and would bring the flexi close in to the portal housing for max protection? Looking great, can't be too far from being road ready now.

steve b Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Car builder solutions list various UNF banjo fittings so could be worth a call about metric ones but I bet David will know what you could use as a screw together adaptor. I think @FridgeFreezer had some SS flexibles made with banjo's for the 109. The other option would be to make the banjo. Lots of modern cars use crimped on banjo brake pipes (incl. the D2) so the bolts should be easily available. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Just now, steve b said: I think @FridgeFreezer had some SS flexibles made with banjo's for the 109. I bought TFE hose & fittings from Think Automotive and made my own, it doesn't save you much if anything but it does mean you can make it all up to length on the truck without having to get accurate measurements in advance.

Stellaghost Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 One side of the rear axle done, unfortunately I didn't allow enough wiggle room for the brake pipe so will need to order a longer one tomorrow but the good news is it will fit the other side Regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
