My VVC has just failed on both rear brake pipes (to be fair, they have been an advisory for the last two years) so the car is currently sat on axle stands, all four wheels off and her unions and nipples soaking in plus gas. I have ordered stainless unions, 5m of kunifer and a new t-piece, just to be sure.
My question is this. The route that the brake pipe take is pretty torturous, and I'm guessing that at the factory during assembly, the pipes went in fairly early on. After a bit of a mooch under there, I was idily wondering why, when I fit the replacements, don't I just clip them to the rear subframe and save myself some time, swearing and scraped knuckles?
I'm sure there is a very good reason why not and I'm equally certain that someone on here will know it
