Brake Line T Location

[jfhowe1]

Does anyone have a picture of where the T for the rear brake line is mounted on a car with the dual brake system?(70 S4/SE) I believe it bolts to the frame on the right side, but I'm not sure where. I'm not able to figure out the exact routing using the pieces of old line I have, and the new frame. Any help would be appreciated.

It's located on the bottom of the horizontal part of the 'Y' section. Hope the pic helps.

Thanks for the picture. I did locate the one on the rear, but am looking for the location in the front of the car. I believe it is on the right side in front of the engine mount, but not sure. If you have a pic of the fitting at the other end of the line I would really appreciate it.

These photos are from the right-front engine bay of a 1969 S4 (US spec).

The front "T" is for the front brakes. A line goes from the Master Cylinder (upper line) to this "T" then out to each front caliper.
The other fitting is a "T" with one arm plugged. The line goes from the Master Cylinder to this plugged-"T" then back to the rear wheels (another "T" is located in the rear).

Hope this helps.

Rich Boyd's photos show the front brake lines and T locations for a LHD tandem master cylinder car.

Does anyone have a photo of the left side? How did Lotus route the hard lines around the steering column? I think they went
down near the alternator then over the column and down again. I'm replacing my lines with Fed Hill lines and my old lines
got bent when I pulled them out, so I'm not quite sure how the new ones should be routed. It's nice that I can make the bends by hand with the Fed Hill stuff.

Thanks,
Bob

I have photos from the left side also. 1969 LHD, US spec S4 Elan.
One image has body and steering column in place and was taken from the engine bay.
The second image has body and steering column removed and was taken from above.
