Question- and todays is

[jlaird]

Front brake cylinders and lines and such.

There is a small hard line that goes between the the cylinders as I rembember and have and a flex hose that also is hooked in there someplace. Only two places on the cylinders, and three things to connect?

Can not seem to remember and can not find a pic.

As I recall there are two different cylinders for the front. one has accomodation for the hard line (bridge piece) and the other has two for the hard line and flex hose. I have switched to front discs, but will dig out the old stuff and take a look for you

Hmmm, gona go look again, know I orderd lefts and rights.

And I have lefts and rights. Each has two drillings for bolts and two drillings for brakes. One for bleed screw and one for a line. I know a cross over goes there someplace and the flex hose as well. Just how is the question. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nopity.gif

just dug it all out. I was wrong - there are two holes in each cylinder. The way it works is the hard pipe goes from cyl. to cyl. in the top holes. the flex pipe goes into the rear lower hole, and the bleeder into the forward cyl. lower hole. hope that helps.

OOps, I may have been looking at the whole thing upside-down since it is sitting in a drawer and not on the car, so disregard the top and bottom referrences from before, they may be wrong, then again....but the routing is correct - four holes - two for hard line one for flex and one for bleeder.

Yep, think so. Factory manual says only one bleed screw farthest away from the master cyl. Hehe, came with new bleed screws in all of them. Bumfusiling, it was.

Thanks.

edit: Yep, got it.

A picture is worth a thousand replies. Unfortunately my camera makes everything look more rusted that it really is...
