Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Nice to see a variantion on a theme.. IMHO the routing of the std LR pipes is just asking for troubl;e, and like you I'm royally sick of damaging them, yours is a fast and neat solution, with bnot as bad a cost as at 1st I would have thought ? Did you get the same tight type banjo units, they look very similar - if not the same IMVHO either Mine or TCs route makes for a vastly better solution Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Same banjos, Davids lines are plastic coated as well I have tucked them well out of the way and made new supports to the callipers to fend off more damage, Lines delivered were £38 inc banjos/copper washers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 And Finally job done Took a tad longer as whilst apart I twigged the wheel bearing had gone, and 1 stub shaft, and the brake disks got changed, and the pads and the hub seals, and the shockers too, which just added time, but today sees it finished. The last Fabbing job was to throw away the silly tin bracket that holds the T piece on the top of the casing, and fab up a 4mm bracket which fixes in the same way to the 2 x diff studs, but is stronger, braced and has the left and right hand side protector bars join onto to it to make for a solid protector top sides and across. I did have a gulp when I saw the T Piece which seems to have a crack in it <gulp> the lines where on it F tight took a lot to remove as they had been renched and twisted just a few times so it may have been getting them off that finished it, anyway new one added - check yours maybe next time your under there ? Anyway a few pics to show the above : And yes, I know theres a bolt missing A fair bit of work, but has ciost virtaully nothing (the running repairs of disks pads etc excluded from the mods) and I hope will once and for all sort out this issue, just need brakes bleed and nearly ready for Sunday for some "Testing" with SLRC Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Train Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Really nice job. You could have painted the diff while you were about it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethepilot Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The good thing of making them out of 12 mm rod is that you can also connect a towrope to it! Daan I would also call that a bit exaggeration overdone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
