Another vote for by the hand brake mate, the lines look really good mate, but could you of had a them join straight to the connectors where they meet on the front good ridge, and at the rear beam, this would get rid of the 90 degree bends, and have far less joins to leak? or is there a reason for them? i just though you could put a connector strain to the line, no need for bends?? (hope you understand me?)
Scott
This pic shows the bends im on about, after the floor and just before the beam, are they really needed, has more joins that could leak etc..

Plus looking at that the wheels are on the ground there, you might want to add some more length in the line between the boot/bench floor and the beam as you might end up with it not having enough ply in it when jacking the car etc, just an idea?
Scott
You'd still need a fitting to join the brake line to the Goodridge pipe though? So there's no way of getting around one there? The 90 degree ends are one fitting but allow swivel so the line won't twist when tightening them up.
That rear flexi is getting remade anyway as I twisted the braid slightly - how long I remake it will depend on what the full droop length of the rear coilovers are as it's currently on standard suspension. Cheers for pointing it out though. :)
Ah i see, makes more sense now mate.Quote:

just thinking, not putting your efforts down at all, as you have done a cracking job mate.
Scott
By the handbrake. Then you can adjust while driving.
The rear line where it enters the car is right in the water channel tho, you might find it leeks in..
Yeah cheers Scott, appreciate your comments. I think the standard rubber flexis on the rear aren't long enough to let the beam drop fully with no shocks anyway - but I'll measure it up properly and tailor the line to the new rear shocks anyway.
Benn, a washer and some sealer should hopefully stop it from leaking - I'm more worried about the Corsa servo mount holding water and I've found it's quite a watertrap! See: http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthr...wpost&t=137032
so long as youve sealered it it will be fine.
