F15A brake lines

[Hanno Spoelstra]

First I had a close look at the maintenance manual and spare parts list:

“Old location” (fig. 1):

Rear: metal brake line (p/n 91A-2269) running from master brake cylinder (p/n 91T-2140) to rear of chassis, flexible hose (p/n *C01Q-2078) from chassis to rear axle, metal brake lines (p/n 91A-2269) run from connector (p/n 01T-2074-A) to rear wheel brake cylinders (p/n (C) 91T-2261). Note the flexible hose is fitted to chassis bracket (p/n 01T-2073) with the use of a clip (p/n 78-2814-A).

Front: metal brake lines (p/n 91A-2269) running from master brake cylinder (p/n 91T-2140) along left and right frame channels above front axle, flexible hose (p/n *C01Q-2079) from chassis to front wheel brake cylinders (p/n C91T-2261).

I suspect this setup was taken over from the 2-wheel drive F15 to the 4-wheel drive F15A, and later relocated to the setup described below as it better suits a front drive axle.
