I would like to relocate the rear brake lines, from the top of the radius arm. Where is the best mounting point?

 

61' Morris Mini

i just did mine, used the minispares braided setup that takes the hard and rubber line away great for a low car, just cable tie or use a rubber "p"clip to secure

I don't quite understand the question, dry cars have the metal and flexi pipe running along top of the arm, hydro cars have it going below the arm, why do you need to move it?

Yea, spot on. I'm riding pretty low and I'm in the process of changeing over to ss lines, thought now would be a good time to move that mount. For some reason I thought the connection between the hard and flexi line had to be hard mounted.

Sorry forgot to mention, my car has been converted to dry suspension, rear subframe and arms have been replace. Cheers.

the flexi hose now goes from the wheel cylinder right up the arm and over to the subframe hard line

This is the hose and connection we are talking about.

 

 

 

Johnny-  In the kit you have does it replace the little hard line and also have connections like this banjo type?

OK, now I understand, you want the replace the metal + flexi with a braided hose from the slave cylinder, in which case as long as it's secured properly it should be fine, strange that you say the car has been converted to dry, if it's a 61 car it would have been dry from the start, hydro didn't come in until 64 just after the 1275 S was introduced.

yes it replaces the hard and rubber flexi thats shown in your 1st pic , so its a braided hose thats got that banjo fitting ont the wheel cylinder and then the other end is the male end thats like on the end of that rubber hose, so your killing 2 birds with 1 stone , replacing shiit  rubber hose and also the hard line that can get crushed on low minis
