Sumo Rear Brake Pipe Layout

Hi

Can anyone advise me on the layout of the rear brake pipes, for a Pilgrim Sumo with Granada running gear (discs all round).

I have connected the two rear flexible pipes from the main pipe run to the chasis and inner wishbone brackets but I'm not sure what I should do with the flexible pipes from the brakes themselves. Do I need to make up some brackets.

This is a new build.

First time on this Forum, so be gentle with me.

RE: Sumo Rear Brake Pipe Layout

Hi Frosty. If you click on Bobs Cob build series which is to the left on the Home Page select page 3 and he explaines all you need to know.Oups just seen that you are useing Granada stuff and I know Bob used a Sierra Donor. In answer to your question yes you will have to make up two small brackets ( one on each side) to secure the flexable pipes to, in the same manner as you do the front brakes. Welcome to the forum and good luck.

RE: Sumo Rear Brake Pipe Layout

Thanks for the plug Tinka I didn't think anyone read Bobs Cob.Anyway There is already a bracket on the Sierra/Granada rear traing arm the disk brake versions are the same. Its part of the Shock absorber bracket that you have to cut off. If you do this carefully you can chop off the bit you dont want and leave the bit for the brake pipe. I use Sierra drums on mu build and the Bracket is separate. I now have the back end off of a 4x4 with a limited slip diff that I am going to fit this winter and that how I plan to do it.

RE: Sumo Rear Brake Pipe Layout

Thanks for your help.

As you might guess I have already cut the shock absorber bracket off, and I thought I was being clever by spending some time making a flush finish to rear arm.

oh well when I build my next Cob I won't do that again.
