Brake line routing

Charles, the first thing you need to do is decide what master cylinder and slave combination you are going to use. You won't be able to use the stock Brit slave cylinder without modification or Gerards mount.

The line feeding it works fine with the early coil...that's what I'm running on my Midget. I have the stock Datsun clutch on a Datsun engine and I used the 1098 slave with the 3/4 Master. The slave ends up inverted when you change sides so that the bleed nipple is on the bottom and therefore impossible to bleed. I bled it before I fitted it and never got all the air out so I am going to force fluid through from the bottom with a syringe to get the last of the air out before driving season.
Hope this help's
Kurt.

Thanks, Kurt. I am using Gerard's kit, so I will have that mount to use. I have a 1275 rib-case slave which I fitted to a 3/4 master when I converted to disk brakes. I guess I will take a shot at not removing the slave cylinder from the hardline and hope for the best! :encouragement:
