Brake and fuel pipe measurements

Post by gs.davies »

I’ve got to fit up the brake and fuel pipes underneath my car before I can get the subframes on.

How long should be left between the end of the pipe and the first bend going towards the front of the car? I can’t think of another way of working out how much to leave for the pigtail curl in the brake pipe at the subframe end.. I figure that if I get that first distance right it should work out ok at the other end..

Or is there a better way of doing this?

Gary.

Gary, when I pop over I will bring along a set of pre-made pipes you can measure or copy.
Cheers. Mark
