Will copper be up to (basically) commercial spec? Always used copper on Land Rover rebuilds but seem to remember somebody muttering that it wasn't really up to comp. spec etcInteresting conversion, that pipe does look a bit vulnerable as has been said, possibly you could make it a nice fit in copper for a pattern and then have a piece made up in steel, it would be more durable (would take a knock better), and maybe use a banjo on the calliper to keep it nice and close? You could still attach it to the other calliper via a flexi to make it easier? It would be up out of the way I assume?
Did the instructions advise to fit the pipe in the top port of the calliper? Because in my mind it should be in the bottom with the bleed at the top?
Nice to see someone modifying and upgrading kit
Be better than squashing a family car with a family in itYou'll be squashing your nose on the windscreen next.
No instructions, pipes made up and pre bent to nearly correct shape, im no expert just piped it with the pipes supplied and they landed at that port so that port they went in but you may well be correct.Interesting conversion, that pipe does look a bit vulnerable as has been said, possibly you could make it a nice fit in copper for a pattern and then have a piece made up in steel, it would be more durable (would take a knock better), and maybe use a banjo on the calliper to keep it nice and close?

I presume it's an air /hydraulic systemNo instructions, pipes made up and pre bent to nearly correct shape, im no expert just piped it with the pipes supplied and they landed at that port so that port they went in but you may well be correct.
They bled no problem, did one at a time to avoid as much as poss bleeding problems.I presume it's an air /hydraulic system
Sometimes you can have problems bleeding the system if bleed nipples are at the bottom
