3000m Bakes again!

[Erich Stahler]

Would be very grateful if anyone could post any pictures of the front copper brake lines in the vicinity of the master cylinder, know roughly what I want but would be nice to see how the factory routed them.

Also on the TR6, which the brakes come from, the front port in the M/C supplies the rear brakes is that the case for this application also?

Hi Erich,
not sure of this helps since it's from my '79 3000S during strip down. With this master cylinder the 2 front ports feed the front brakes (one pipe to each side) whilst the rear port serves the rear brakes via a T-piece at the rear of the chassis.

All 3 pipes are routed down between servo and footwell then re-appear just below the clutch cable housing and loop above the steering column to the chassis (you can only see 2 on this photo but there are 3 - honest!). The pipes are then tie-wrapped to the underside of the chassis tubes branching off to the front or back as appropriate.

You want to be a bit careful, here.....I do know the books say TR6, but on the later 3000S' (and M' & Taimars ?) they are actually Cortina 5 (3 lines, 1 serving the rear) believe the earlier cars had 4 pipes (TR6)

You should be able to know from the number on the body of the MC

The lines are routed in a non-orderly fashion (surprise ?) to the top chassis rail, 2 forward, 1 in a bend to the O/S bracket (for the flex) other one under the second (from front) top crossmember to the N/S.

Rear as oldGB says

What a pathetic comment! For your information the car was pile of bits when I acquired it, which is why I'm asking these questions, further more seeing as I have built the entire car myself I will be a lot more clued up than most.

Keep your judgmental comments about people you have never met to yourself mate!

Well done and good luck with your racing . I hope your 5 way attenuator works. Looking forward to seeing you and your car out racing "mate".

Erich, yes, got it now, two lines going to PDWA (at the front, dividing into two lines for the front, one for rear, dividing in way of the diff. (from TR6 memory....)

If you already got a new one, don't worry about the type, it shoulkd be OK.

What is the status of your rebuild (i.e pics please........)
