I decided to convert over to TR4A brake calipers on my Italia (TR3) restoration. Got the later caliper mounts from a TR6. Bought a pre-bent hard pipe that is to run from the caliper about 4" forward to an L-bracket to transition to the hose (like on the TR4A). However, I guess i did not realize that this is taking the hose to the front of the wheel instead of the rear like the TR3. This is going to force me to get creative with the hard lines on their way to the 5-way fitting. I assume that this conversion has been done before by others. What is the simplest way to tie the later type 16P caliper to the TR3 hard brake lines? Should I just dispense with the TR4A routing and go out the back like the TR3 did, or what have others done? Pics of hose and hard pipe routing would help, as I disassembled this chassis in 1986. Thanks for any suggestions. - Bob
