Title: Cross Tube Brake pedal assay and brake line clips
Post by: Kirkski on May 11, 2015, 05:39:52 AM

All,

 If someone could post pictures of the cross tube assembly I would appreciate it. I am specifically looking for the washer orientation.

 Also any tricks to the brake line clips? Been wrenching my whole life pretty much and these pesky things have me scratching my head.  :(

On the cross tube...I can probably snap a photo tonight after work.

Brake line clips...There are a number of clips in a variety of locations.  What part of the brake lines are you working on?

Thanks Tim, I am talking about the clips that attach the run along the frame rail, strange little buggers. The pic shows one just above the forward leaf support

Ah yes...those clips.  They are evil little bastards.  In a perfect world, I believe they belong like your photo shows, but I can't get mine to hold the line.  So, I pull the little tab far enough away from the frame and slip the brake line in to the large loop.

Here is a photo of the cross tube on my green Willys...

The clutch side is fairly self explanatory.    From the frame...inward.
