Brake Pipes Part 2

[Harry_Ward]

Thanks Peter, Great Info!

Thank Girling I bought all new lines with the proper "Girling flare" (learned that term from your post). I'm truly at a loss though? The previous owner of my TR3 used brass compression fittings all over the place. Gee I guess that explains why he ran off the road and sheared the right front wheel off. Oh well my car now after a little welding. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

End your frustration and give these folks a call.

(then scroll down to Triumph)

I bought a set of prebent stainless steel brake lines for my MGB from Classic Tube and Line. They have the correct iso/bubble flares and the correct fittings on the ends. They fit perfectly. They can also do steel/bundyflex tube if you are leery of stainless (some worry it is too hard/brittle).

They have patterns for the early and late TR6 and they will sell individual lines; no need to buy the complete set.

I was very satisfied.

Warning Actuator)? The brass thing that those pipes go into after they leave the Master Cylinder? Or did Pedro you using other adapters to eliminate it.

Whether or not you find some new source for pre-bents or Paul (or someone else) get the right part to you eventually. Another important thing that is not shown well in catalog diagrams is how the pipes cross over. The rear section of the master cylinder (the larger reservoir) is for the front brakes. The pipe from it crosses over to the forward pipes on the PDWA to go to the front brakes.

Not my car but a pic that might explain it visually... Not original pipes.

Hope that explains what I was referring to with the cross over.

I especially liked the plug for Dave Bean!

"And, as mentioned above, Dave Bean Engineering should be on the vendor list of anyone dealing with a car that was built in England."

AMEN!

Now Dale is totally confused.

I have a correct master brake cylinder.
I have one correct steel brake pipe and
1 wrong pipe.

Plus the damned car has been AWOL two weeks now.

Here is my present set up. Open to suggestions.
Send the correct master and one pre-bent pipe to
the States somewhere and have them make a correct
second pipe?

So Dale, you could just start with the master cylinder and add parts until you have a complete TR6! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
