Question about wilwood flexline kit

Post by Mick »

I need the flexis for my wilwoods, Guy kindly pm'd me the summit part number but the lines are 18" long and in truth the car only needs 12" max.
Looking at the pic, they look like a crimped fitting, so it's not like they can be shortened easily.
To anyone including Guy, that has used this kit, does the excess line get in the way ?

Used them on the valiant and the excess is fine. .. Just put a p clip or something similar in at high level to give the flexi some support. Before fixing p clip get someone to move steering lock to lock with front shock fully extended

Why not get your own made up, I used thinkautomotive.

Must someone similar out your way.

Forget the price now, but remember it was just as cheap & to my requirements

sounds like the flexis are designed to be used on a set-up where the calipers are mounted the oposite side of the spindle from standard

swap your spindles

put the calipers on the front/back instead

and they will be the right length
