Exhaust

[Guest 2b cruising]

Are they metal or rubber/plastic pipes.

If they are the second lot it means they are the vacuum pipes for the servo assist. These can be put through any cool enough route that you like. Just make sure all your joints are air tight.

If they are the metal pipes then they are the main hydraulic pipes. As far as positioning goes, once again any rout will do. Three thing to watch out for are, make sure,all your joints are leak proof. Do not allow,the pipes to chaffe on surrounding ancillaries or chassis parts.

Clamping them away from such things. Avoid contact or near contact with hot exhaust pipes or fittings. Boiling fluid produces air. This would give big braking problems, even if only in one small,area.

its the copper pipes to the servo if i can move them then be great i will order the bits to do it what size is brake pipe normaly

You can always ditch the servo.....

[Del1968]

ok but how would i do that and what would go in its place? i thought the brakes needed the servo

[Bob Tucker]

You just need a different push rod.

IIRC Tiger cars do one.

Then you bolt the M/C direct to the pedal box.

 

Do a search for Ditch Servo on here.....its been done a lot.

The pedal feel is very different, needs a firmer push, but feels much more direct.

Don't expect to do an emergency stop on your first outing without filling your pants.

You will find that frts really do have lumps in them.
