Re: Brake pipes

I assume you are using the Automec copper pipe kit and have the XJS inboard brake chassis.

I which case the following applies...

Pipe 4, Main front to rear goes from the master cylinder to one of the brake callipers. Right hand one if it is a right hand drive car.

The 7R pipes are for linking both halves of the rear callipers together. My callipers were reconditioned by Wards so these were not required as Wards fitted them during the reconditioning.

Pipe 8 links the front callipers to the bracket where the flexible pipe connects to the upright.

Pipe 12 comes out of one rear calliper and links to the other one. The spare hole in the left hand calliper is for the bleed nipple.

No Tee's or other fitting should be required.

A couple of photos below may help.

Craig.
