Hi Tony,

Glad to see I am not the only one who has to do things twice to get it right.
My wife and I call ourselves Mr. and Mrs. "Twotrips". Usually when you buy something you have to go back to the shop a second time for something defective, omitted etc. In your case it was something actually correct!
It seems to have permeated my hobby too!

As for me doing my brake lines twice as per previous reply in this thread I am very grateful for the replies and photos here. Could have save myself a bit of work. Least I held off doing the rear chassis line so it will only be done once, hopefully.
I re-read the F15A Spare Parts List brake section and have attached a scan here on the brake lines. Some interesting points:

Seems to confirm that at one stage there was a separate line to each side of the front axle like the F15 even on the F15A 4 x 4 version. Parts no CO1QF 2263 and CO1QF 2264. I would assume the larger models of CMP's had the same arrangement.
They were then replace by 91A 2269 (a roll of Bundy tubing) and fabricated in the field.
Note the quote "Used with brake tubing attached to axle housing- new location"
So everyone debating three or four flexible lines to the front axle is correct.

Had I read it more carefully also the lengths of CO1Q 2267 = 46-7/16" and CO1Q 2268 = 19-11/16" might have tipped me off that my brake lines did not follow the original path on the rear axle. Oh well, as my Dad used to say "By the time you are dead you know everything!"
Another interesting point is Part CO1Q 2070: Union- inverted, that you mentioned, Tony, and showed in the diagram does not appear in the F15A brake line diagrams but does appear in the parts list for it. This is not uncommon though with the parts lists I have found.

Now if I can ask Keith, or anyone else here for a good close-up photo and/or dimensions of the brake line clip under the rear springs I think I will have all the info I need to re-do the rear diff lines.

P.S. it only cost me $5 for a 1.8m offcut of Bundy tube at Industrial Fittings when I picked up the joiners so it's worth correcting the mistake on the rear axle. All I lose is a bit of time.

Cheers
