Need help with brake line options

[Mochi]

The wilwood caliper inlet is on the back facing towards the middle of the car. I have lost the dust cover and can't route via the stock route. I need help with options for routing. I know some people of done wilwood caliper swaps. I have not seen how they have been routed. I was thinking straight out/no bends from the caliper to the chassis. Another thought was a slight bend directed towards the center of the axle, with the flex line allowing it to curve to the chassis. But thoughts are very welcome!

Most cars the hose connects @the upper backing plate caliper cutout to a bracket and have a short line between the hose and caliper

Guess I'm a little confused on what you are needing to do and what you're asking...

I don't have the option of buying off the shelf brake hoses for the brake calipers that I am using. I am asking what angle do people use exiting the caliper. what method do people use to measure the brake hose length.

Just for clarification, you're converting from the stock calipers to Wilwoods, but this is *NOT* the Techno Tuning conversion, correct?

It is not the TTT conversion. Blue hands fabrication machined a complete replacement brake mount. Instead of the TTT were they use a adapter that mounts to the stock bracket. It's nice as the rotor used is a G20 rotor that has the middle punched out like the altima setup, but still uses the stock spindle spacer. This also allows the use of stock wheels.

He might not produce the kit. It's alot of time and work. He has so many cool projects going to as well for other datsun enthusiasts that he wants to finish up

Let me know what you think of the length. The suspension is completely slack and the steering is lock so the hose is stretched the most. Moving the steering wheel produced no kinking and did not touch and suspension pieces

[Gregs672000]

I have no expertise but I would be comfortable with that... long enough, no stretch or kink, won't get caught up in the suspension etc.

Most keep it up as to avoid crashes with ? A 2x4 , rock , metal usually the female fitting sets level up the spindle turning stretches the hose length , most cars the brake hose makes a U shape unmounting
Also the way that car was towed in the day a steel.hook grabbed the trailing part of the lower C arm
