Title: Twin Rear Brake Pipes
Post by 12reps on Mar 30^th, 2006, 2:16pm

Hi there,
Please help, I have stripped both the rear brake pipes off my 24V from the male/female connection behind the nearside front wheel to the brake calipers. However I am not sure now which one is which! Will it matter if these 2 rear brake pipes are the wrong way around and is there a way to check once I have put the new ones back on? I have not fitted the new pipes yet. Behind the nearside front wheel I have 1 male and 1 female brake pipe connection. Is the female n/s/r and male o/s/r or vice versa?
Cheers Allan

Not getting this one at all, is it the flexible hoses ? Is the 24V front caliper set up different to the 2.0 or 2.3?

There is no " wrong way " a brake pipe is just a tube, the connection either screws in and is airtight, or it doesn't .
