+2 rear brake hose damaged by disc

[alaric]

Hi. One of the flexible brake hoses on the rear of my +2 has a cut out in it from the disc

The hose runs between a bracket on the spyder chassis and a bracket on the suspension strutt. the bracket on the strutt is in a differemt position to the one on the other side, which has no damage. But of course I'm now wondering if both have been moved.

Could I get some pics of other rear hose installations please?

Thanks.

Sean.

Here’s a photo of a Lotus chassis pipe run.

Thanks Donels.

The arrangement in your photo leaves no chance of the disc getting close to the hose and is the same as on the passenger side of my car. The driver's side, though, has the hose attached to a bracket that's toward the outside of the car, leaving the hose to travel over the disc. I'll get that fixed - new standard length hoses are on order.

In the pic is that a jubilee clip holding a second bracket that the brake hose is bolted to?

Regards.

Sean.
