Triumph TR6 - Rear Brakes - Does this look right

Hi folks

Started on the rear brakes, does the picture look right?

That's how it is on my car, though it is such a tight fit getting the diff out (and back in - much harder lifting it up than lettign gravity do its thing!) I would suggest that you find a shorter bolt for the 3-way union.

Thanks for the reply, and yes I have it on my "todo" list to shorten the bolt on the union. My initial concern was the tightness of the flex pipe.

word of advice, while you have this great access, if your planning on braided brake lines down the road..do them now for the rear because with the tub back on, its not alot of fun changing the hoses

I believe there should be a copper washer (Moss #324-730 Pg 41) between the three way connector and the hose fitting. I don't see it in your pic. I have my connector mounted the other way around with the longer part toward the diff. Seem to work better when tightening the line from the front. Joe
