Cooz93 66 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Finally got my rear beam back on with the new bits, but unsure how the brake lines were routed. It's the lines that run along the passanger side of the car in to the bottom two unions on the brake compensator. Do they go straight into the compensator or are they routed around the body? Any help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mk3highline 287 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I will see tomorrow if it's stopped raining to take some pictures Are you meaning the copper brake lines? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cooz93 66 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 That would be perfect mate. Ye it's the copper lines that go into the brake compensator. Dunno if they just go straight from the body of the car into the compensator or follows the bottom of the car.. Pics would clear it up. Cheers:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooz93 66 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi mate, it's on the actual car itself. The pipes that run along the the passanger side sill area and attach to the brake compensator Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pappers 50 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I think the Teves system didn't use a valve. The early system did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gilly17 51 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Here's some pic mate, hope they are some use!! The brake lines follow the bodywork. Just a quick question I've put some coilovers on, do I need to adjust the compensator ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cooz93 66 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 That's exactly what I needed mate. Much appreciated!! I would definitely have a look at the compensator if you've lowered your car. Unsure how to go about it as I haven't set mine up yet but will look into it and see what I can find out:) thanks again! Gilly17 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
