went to fit new copper brake lines to the bulkhead connections, the new line to the rear has a larger female connection than the 2 which go to the front, but i think all the bulkhead brake connections are the same size......

either... my new copper line is wrong, as automec say that all brake bulkhead connections should be the same

or.......... ive got my drawing as to which bulkhead connections are which, and ive confused the clutch with the brake.

i dont have my car right now, as its gone for exhaust to be made or i would crawl in the pedal box and check, but is there a standard "layout:" for which connector is which....

my drawing says that the clutch system is the larger bore connector on the bulkhead which is furthest forward, of the 4 connectors

you can see the bulkhead connections in this pic (just)

help appreciated

Mine is also a pre cat and bulkhead connections are located identical to yours in the picture. Yes the 3 rear most all in a line are the brakes and are all the same size on mine. The clutch as you say is the most forward one and is a bigger connector.

thanks, that is good news, as you've confirmed i am not going mad!

I was sure the front was clutch,
i've just asked automec to send a new line, which would have to be the most fiddly one ton replace.....heyho

Just stuck my head in the garage to check for you SSPPGG and don't panic Mr Mainwaring, your notes are correct.
