#1 S1 rhd I am just fitting the brake lines

Post by phoenix » Thu Apr 01, 2021 9:37 am

I have a kit that has a line from the master cylinder to the servo across the bulkhead behind the engine. Whe looking at photos on line there is a thicker line that is going across the picture frame. Is that a brake like or maybe Airton?

Just found out on this forum that the early S1 which this is had the brake line going on the bulkhead behind the engine . The later ones had a wider feed round the picture frame .

So I have the brake line across the bulk head from Master to Servo. From servo a thinner (slightly) brake line then goes forward, along engine frame where, at front frame intersection, it splits left and right to front wheels. The split is also the point where the brake light switch is situated.
