Brake line (rear) photos needed - please!

[happydad59]

Hi, I am the new owner of landy-girl's unfinished project - Series 11a 88". It came to me with no brake lines and I am in the process of fitting them now. I bought the lines ready made (but just coiled) from Four wheel drives and now need to fit them. My problem is the rear brakes, I have the brass t-piece and realise that lines screw directly into wheel cylinders. What really confuses me is that there are no mounting points at all on the axles (excepted a welded lug on the diff for the t-piece) and I am not sure how the lines are fixed down. Clearly they cant run on top of the axle (or they would be crushed on the bump stop) so do they go on the front or back and how are they secured?

A photo or two would really help.

Just popping out to grab some snaps........... ;)


OK.

From the driver side chassis rail, there's a lug that joins the steel tube to a flex hose. The flex hose goes to the top of the banjo. There it tees, and the tube runs through an eyelet on a plate on the back of each spring block.
Uploading pics now.................

ok, done.

View from the front. Sorry it's a bit blurry. Only have the phone cam.

Hope this helps (and I hope this is right :D)

Thanks very much, that's exactly what I needed and it makes good sense - what I am missing is the plate at the back - will have to knock one up, it seems to be clamped between spring and axle:)

Just did my brakes and some of the brake lines recently. These are some pics of the plate, and of the left hand side brake line (Old & new). I'll get a picture of the right side and post it here.. The brackets are there to protect the brake lines from the check straps and to have some where to secure the line to. They use P clips to hold the lines on place.

The extended rear shackles and the white painted axle housing centre, would indicate that this vehicle may have begun its life in the Army.

Are there any other signs of its original vocation ?

Yes Jack, it's not mine, d&rk51d3 owns it, a S2A 88"GS cheers Dennis.

The photos of the rear brake lines as promised.
