Figure 124: Di Dion tube RH brake pipe

fitting

1. Brake pipe (RH)

4. Brake pipe (LH)

2. ‘P’ clip

5. Di Dion ear (RH)

3. Three way union

Fit the RH short brake pipe loosely to the

three way union and secure the brake

pipe to the top of the De Dion tube using

'P' clips (fastener pack 30Z1067A Item 23)

and rivet (22). The De Dion tube is

predrilled with the correct spacing.

NOTE

The existing holes may require cleaning

with a 1/8” drill bit to remove paint but

under no circumstances should additional

holes be drilled.

Fit the LH longer brake pipe loosely to the

three way union as shown in Fig 126.

Ensure that the brake pipe runs along the

centre of the top of the De Dion tube.

Secure the brake pipe using the 'P' clips

(23) and rivets (22). Remove the brake

callipers and De Dion ears.

NOTE

The existing holes may require cleaning

with a 1/8” drill bit to remove paint but

under no circumstances should additional

holes be drilled.

9.4) Rear brake hose

NOTE

All connections should initially be made

finger tight.

The rear braided hose can now be fitted.

Thread the locknut onto the male union on

one end of the hose then attach the

braided hose to the three way union on

the De Dion tube and tighten to 10 Nm.

Lock into place using the locknut. The

locknut supplied should not restrict the

union from tightening fully.

Place a plain washer over the male union

on the other end of the braided hose then

pass the union forwards through the

vertical aluminium panel, apply a further

plain washer then the shake proof washer

and secure in place with the locknut

provided. Finally, attach the rigid brake

pipe from the transmission tunnel.

NOTES

1. The rigid brake pipe may need slight

realignment.

2. Sharp kinks must not be created.
