To a bracket on the inner wing where they join the solid pipes. If it is/was ABS there'll be two. Time to get a manual with pictures?

inner wings ermmmmmm it dont have any so looks like im going hunting lol
thanx rossko
will go poking about next week see wot i can find
Range Rover Blues:
Brake flexi, front. On a non-ABS car like your you should have 2 flexis (all RRC had twin circuit to the front end) and from the top of the swivel these route to a bracket on the bottom edge of the inner wing just ahead of the shock turret, just above you will see an oval hole you can get 2 fingers through.
On the P/S the pipes run up under the coil to the outer edge of the inner wing then run back to the bulkhead. On the D/S they run outside of the shock turret and one incorporates the T piece to the pressure reducer, mounted low on the inner wing behind the shock and then to the rear axle (single pipe without ABS).
On a 3.5 I think you may only have ther hairy sausage oil cooler but I can't swear to it. A solid 'Bog Brush; behind the grille, connected by flexis to 2 rigid pipes that run along the sump flange whre they are supported by 2 brackets.
Rear A frame would have had the Boge self-leveller, it limits droop travel and once it stop working is juts added weight. They used to work as a thrid shocker plus load-assist device. If it's gone you need a longer rear flexi.

many thanx RRB
only issuse is the inner arches have been replaced so i have no idea wot im looking for
there are as we no 2 flexi pipes from the front axle (per side) do these just go to a T peice or is there something special needed?
oil cooler i beleive its a 3.9 set up so im assuming its got a little square one d/s of the main radiator?? is this it?
when you say about a longer rear flexi im assuming you mean brake line?
also while i think about it it needs rear spring clamps can i get these new say from caddocks/paddocks?

Ah, then look for ahole to the front of the shock tower, if it's not there you need to make it. A manual would be the best bet because it sounds like you need to make up the brackets too.
The RRC had split circuit brakes from 1970, the front callipers have both primary and secondary circuits in each one, the top pairof pistons is one and the bottom the other, then the back brakes are T's into one of the circuits. If you loose braking on one of the circuits you still get braking at the front making it very safe.
This means however 2 pipes from the Master cylinder to each front wheel, one of the front RHS pipes gets T'd for the back brake pipe, via a pressure reducer/deceleration valve that MUST be fitted at the correct angle. Again, you need a manual.
3.5 oil coolers were optional, on a 3.9 the driver's end of the main water radiator serves as oil cooler and the passengers end then became the secondary auto transmissionoil cooler. If you engine oil cooler is on it's own then it's the optional type or retro fit.
Yes, without the self lebveller you need to reposition or extend the brake flexi hose.
Spring clamps, E-Bay, paddocks are not the kings of cheap anymore so shop around.

RRB this is were it get worse (or better) its had the shock towers replaced with terafima units so thats that plan gone lol :-k
