Re: Brake part, help needed

[mark krawczuk]

hi, i think that there might be several  different fixing brackets for the brake lines. where ever there is a flexible line joining up to a metal brake line , it will have to be secured at that point,  i.e where the  flare nut screws into the flexable line.   if it isint fixed  at that point, the line WILL crack/fracture leaking fluid.    when i first started messing around with cars, i put a torana discbrake front end on a hr holden, and didnt secure it at that point, then one day i decided to take a back road home, came up to a intersection, put my foot on the brakes, and it went  straight down to the floor, all the brake fluid leaked out  from a crack.........and  i went straight thru the  intersection.......... if i took the normal way home, i would have had a accident..   a guy came around with a hq ute, and it had the same problem, it wasnt secured at the join, so i got some hose clamps and  secured it to the bracket , ,looks like it should do the job,,       mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: Cleary Signs To: Datsun Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2003 1:47 PM Subject: Brake part, help needed Hi List,   do i need one of these on every flexible brake hose joint? or just the rear flexible brake hose going to the diff?. and just the clips on the front struts and body. picc is uploaded here http://www.ozdat.com/members/uploads/brake_part.jpg   Heath --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
