Brake Hose Connection

Evening All...

 

Rite we have been trying to work out how to connect the flexible brake hose through the side of the bodywork.

Now the way i have done it on this side is use a bulkhead connector that goes through the hole and then bolts tight, then the hoses screw onto that.

Now we had to use a couple of sex changing parts but it has ended up like this.....

So my question is i guess, is this ok??? will it be ok for IVA and if not how else could it be done.

 

Many Thanks as always

Joe

Hi Joe,

 

The M10 x 1 fitting on the end of your flexi is a bulkhead fitting mate.

You shouldn't need all the adapters???

 

Mine has the flexi pass through a penny washer and the hole in the side panel, then another penny washer and a locknut, then the pipe and flare nut connects straight to the flexi.

 

Just change the "male" union you have on your copper pipe to a "female".

you might have to provide some sort of bracket too, some of the test centres aren't keen on the flexi pipe coming through a side panel and joining to rigid copper without extra support to stop flexing in the copper pipe
