    Default Hydrualic Handbrake Fitting Guide

    Anyone want to share how to fit them? I have a fair idea. Pipe from the master back to the handbrake and then another pipe from the other hole of the hydro to a T piece and go to each brake then yea? I think this is the general jist of it but can someone go into more detail or more importantly tell me if im wrong, Seen as im getting a hands on feeling lately for the car id rather try do this myself than pay someone as I'd like to know anyway. Also is where can the copper piping be got can you use braided lines either? I want to know what way you bleed the system as ive seen some lads get into bother and I also want to be able to use the foot brake while pulling the handbrake I think this has been an issue the way some people fit them?

    how i always done it was...the line running from the master cylynder 2 the back breaks seperate that from the back and run that into your handbrake as your feed in,then make up another line 2 go from your handbreak 2 the back wear you took out the first pipe and thats it...i always plumbed them in like that and never had a problem!!

    Thats the craic she said with one leg on the dash and nothing on but the radio............

    I presume the hole furthest back on the wand goes to the rear and the other to the master.
