anyone know where the 4 way brake pipe connector attaches on the front O/S chassis rail :? . I didnt take it off and am now a bit stuck as to where it fits
-
I seem to recall that it attaches to the steering column bracket somewhere, although, to be perfectly honest, it doesn't seem dreadfully important providing it's there :D
-
These any good to you
-
Is that just a connector or is it a warning device (dual circuit brakes)? If the latter it should be mounted horizontally.

From what I could see of it, its the splitter unit. Two feeds in from the master on the top, two out below, and yes there is wires out too. Its mounted on a flange bracket off the chassis

Thanks for replies peeps :wink:
Hobbit - =D> =D> Pics just the job - Cheers :D

No probs, handy having 2 1/2 s3's outside in the front garden :wink: :lol:
Apart from that was crawling round under one of them the other day, 3 brake pipes and 3xslave cylinders changed
Rather up close and personal with series brakes time again :?

The wires are a bit of a giveaway. Don't put money on it but I think it's a safety feature rather than a splitter alone. Each circuit in the dual system should be connected to one side, any imbalance in pressure (caused by a leak) forces a shuttle to move accross inside closing off the leaky circuit and activating a warning lamp. When you're trying to bleed one of these sytems you may have to remove the switch and jam the shuttle with a screwdriver.
