4.2. FUEL AND BRAKE LINES

The first items that have to be fitted to the chassis are the brake – and petrol lines. Try to fit them exactly at the same place where they were originally situated. It is important that they are fitted properly to the chassis. You should only use the correct type of clips that are in good order being old or new. The lines should not rattle against the chassis or become loose. Be careful with the installation of these lines. Metal tubing can easily get brittle by bending, so try to avoid bending them as much as possible. The Burton Car Company can supply new brake – and fuel lines. One of our packages consists of a complete set of brake lines including all rubber parts as well as grommets and the brake fluid itself. The lines in this package are made out of a nickel copper alloy and therefore better rust resistant that those originally supplied. Also brakelines of stainless steel are available.
