Alert! Puma owners - Brake issue to check!

[tact]

Took my 2013 DC to tyre shop to rotate/rebalance/realign this morning. Watched as the mechanic drove onto the alignment deck and as he stopped - brake fluid sprayed out behind the front driver side wheel.

Alert! Do check on this (see photo). The metal brake line to the calliper passes close to the base of the spring mount plate. It had rubbed through.

(Appreciate if any other owners could send a photo of how this pipe is routed to see if mine had been assembled incorrectly)

Here s a pic of the other side (passenger side), not failed yet but has been rubbed...

I just had a look at mine and there is at least a 30mm gap from the spring base with the wheels centred.
My left side pipe is nearly touching the swivel housing so will need a closer look.
My pipes are mounted the same way but I suspect the bends nearer the calliper are tighter than yours.
Unfortunately I can't do photos to the forum but I'm sure other will post too.

I just checked mine and I have at least 1" clearance
Thanks for heads up
Cheers

Yeah I checked the workshop manual when I got home. It shows the pipe on mine is correct, but a key bend is not tight/tidy enough

Suspect a hamfisted worker on the local (Malaysian) assembly line didn't support the pipe while tightening and it bent/twisted til touching the spring base.
