Thanks mate!

I don't envy you southern folks today. Or indeed for next few days apparently.

I hope none of you guys are at risk of bushfires?

We had 43c degrees about a week ago. Its a worry when even your candles start to melt in their holders.

Default chassis brake hose brackets

Hi Tony,

No fires here yet thank God. Luckily we are in a more suburban area. I know of one Ford sidevalve V8 car collector who lost a beautiful huge collection in the 2009 Black Saturday fires. Heartbreaking for any car enthusiast.

Atached are the photos of the brackets that hold the hoses at the chassis.

Acording to my parts manual for the F15A they are numbered 01T 2073 for the rear and C11QF 2083 for the front.

Mine are devoid of brake lines. Long story, probably for another post but in short: a Rigid flaring tool I bought had a defect in the die block that put a small ridge on the back side of the flare. Was afraid it could cause leaking problems so have started re-doing all my brake lines. Rigid made good anyway and sent me a new die when I showed them a photo of the defect. Lifetime guarantees do mean lifetime for some companies.

Cheers
