1.6 Brake Schematic

[DirtyFlare 0]

I'm going to make braided brake lines for my 1.6 gti, I'm just trying to work out exactly what connections I need.

 

I have searched and found a good post on someone's rebuild, but its for a 1.9. The problem there is 1.9's have a cross-diagonal arrangement and 1.6's don't as only one line goes from the master cylinder to a tee piece

 

Basically I'm asking if someone could list me the parts that I will need, including the thread size, and what they are for so that I can work it.

 

or

 

Draw a diagram explaining/labelling each part of the brake line from mc to brake

 

Many thanx

I have now found this thread (bit of luck tbh) which shows this pic

 

 

which is basically what I was after, but could someone please be kind enough to label the thread sizes for me?

Thread sizes all 10 x 1mm.

That picture isn't right imo.

 

The T splitter at the back on a 1.6 GTi is all females which is why the 1.6 GTi has a specific (different) braided hose for the aroound the beam on the NSR brake unlike the 1.9 GTi.

You are right Graham, but I think the O/P is planning to run the lines in aeroquip all the way through the car, hence probably not bothering with the standard arrangement of the cross pipe under the car etc.

Yeah, I suppose thats why it says Peugeot 1.6 GTi Custom Hose Layout. on the diagram though because its not the standard stuff.

cheers for the replies,

 

does anyone know the lengths required for each brake line?

Piece of rope and a tape measure. Work out what you need then add another couple of metres on to be safe. The -3 line is the cheap part, its all the fittings that really make the cost mount up, esp if you want stainless stuff under the wheelarches (recommended).
