Fellow mono-builders,
Though my brake master cylinder is positioned exactly according to the
manual, I'm finding my brake line to be about 2" short if I follow the
manual and " route it back over the top of the large tube inside the
diagonals".
Have others experienced this condition of a too short brake line? Is
there a recognised alternative routing to what the manual calls for?
It appears to me that the brake line could be held tight against the
side of the CM w/ a couple more of those little plastic P-clips and be
clear of the flap drive mechanism...
...advice and experience gratefully accepted,
Fred
