BRAKE LINES
The brake pipes are of 3/16 in. Bundy tube. The ends of
all the pipes are flanged and fitted with compression nuts
which must be passed mm the pipes before the ends are
flanged. It is important to ensure that the pipes are prop.
erly flanged so that there will be no leakage at the joints.
For reasons of safety, it is essential that all pipes, rubber
hoses and connections in the brake system be kept in
first class condition at all times. Bearing this in mind,
check regularly that the hoses have not been damaged by
flying stones or by abraison. Pipes, too, must be installed
so that they cannot rub or chafe against anything.
Check that the pipes are correctly arranged beneath the
rear seat, and that the pipes do not rub against plating.
All pipe and hose connections must be properly tight-
ened to ensure leak free joints. Make sure that the copper
gaskets in the pipe connections are flawless, and change
any defective ones. Copper gaskets which have become
so hard that they no longer seal effectively may, how-
ever, be annealed and reused.
Pipes which are to be installed must fit well at both ends
and at the clips. Never stretch a badly fitting pipe by
means of the compression nuts or bend an already fitted
pipe. Both of these courses could give rise to stresses
which may result in leakage, pipe fracture or stripped
threads.
