Either steel, copper or stainless........  I just plain forget how they all get bent. - never took this one apart & haven't in many years..... Can't find an exact drawing set for any Mini, much less my 65 LHD Moke.

Anyone have good pictures with the engine out of the front subframe that would show details of the brake fittings on the frame?

Also looking for the rear treatment , going to the different sides from the brake bias thingy. I am such a moron I need help!!!!!!!!!! ;D :D

thanks in advance!

I'll try to get some detailed pictures of my Mk4 split system when I get home. Not sure how much it'll help your application though. I'll post them in my build thread.

I sent Peter some pictures directly from my Moke earlier this week.

For forum sake - here are they are posted for the future!

Could explain soft pedal! 

Thanks, J!  That helped a lot!  Now I have realized that my moke is apparently missing part of the bracket that holds the brass three way fitting shown in your 3rd picture. The same bracket welded onto the cross brace chassis member that holds the clutch slave end and hard line union. It has a lip and a folded over piece that holds the three way.  Mine doesn't have that lip, and I ain't gonna fabricate one now.

Have to figure out what would look nice and function well.

IT wont be a moke if you don't have the brake TEE bracket!



Make one up-  No one will ever know the difference!

   What im saying is - its a Separate part - not welded or fastened to the body - the Clutch Hose holds it in place for the Brake Tee bracket.
