Flexi brake pipes

[Buns]

Does anyone know where I can get the flexible brake pipes on the rear of my 1991 V8S

Try Stevson's

Beware standard V8S pipes at the rear are normally imperial at the inboard (diff) end and metric at the outboard wheel end.

I recently bought a set from Stevsons for my V8S and they were correct with the imperial inboard hoses. If you use Stevsons make sure you speak only to Claire.

Good opportunity to tidy up TVR's mess, replace metal pipes with Kunifer and go "all metric"

What is the standard set up from trailing arm to rear calipers ? I have copper pipe but that was for the original rear drums ,probably not suitable for my disk conversion?

[Barkychoc]

If you convert to discs the flexi hoses are the same as the front ones.

[mikel003003]

So replace the copper with flexi ? Will have to be longer than the front one

Not on mine !

the same (drum brake) flexi is used for chassis to trailing arm then there is a short metal pipe to another flexi, with a banjo fitting, to the caliper.


not the best photo's but......




the impromptu "L bracket" has been replaced since photo

If you make your hose bracket as per the original V8S position then hoses are the same as fronts.
You will need to make up a new rigid pipe with appropriate threaded unions - be careful here.

My original front and rear flexi hoses were identical.

Thanks going to need another bracket on the trailing arms by the looks of things
