Sprint front brake line bracket

Post by: **gjz30075** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 11:24 am

Notice in the picture the bracket that is bolted to the caliper that allows a hard line from the caliper inlet
to the bracket 'flange', then to a soft line.

What is the source of this bracket? No numbers are on the bracket and I can't find it in my Parts List.
Do the +2 s have this?

On my 1972 Sprint the bracket is not like that. It's just a very simple bracket to the top Caliper bolt only.

Possibly post a pic? Is it similar to this bracket, minus the bottom half?

On my Sprint it's just sheet metal bent to form a right angle with 2 holes, one for the caliper bolt and the other for the brake pipe.

Got it. Thanks Alan.

My +2 has the hard line and similar brackets to want Alan described. Simple flat piece bent at 90 degrees with two holes.

Probably something like what Moss Motors sells?

I'm pursuing this because 1), I'm curious as to where the bracket on my Sprint is sourced, and 2) this
S3 Coupe project I have has a conversion to GT6 brakes, 16PB style calipers. The line enters the
caliper at the top and a long braided line is used to do this.This gets in the way of the spring and suspension arm,. I want to set it up like my Sprint.

This is one of the brackets from mine. No idea if it's original or if the extra twist was factory added or not...

Doesn't look that far off the most Morris part.

Same as on my 1972 Sprint original

Here is the bracket from my November 72 Sprint (original)

My Sprint is 7th April 72 so there was a change.
I did notice you grease your Trunnions instead of EP Oil :roll:

Mine's January '72 and just like Brian's, (types26/36), per my first post pic.

SJ Sports cars sell this bracket

I just had a thought maybe i am wrong because i fitted calipers and disks from a +2. I'm not sure if i changed the brackets
