seattlejester Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Howdy, So I've been taking the rear wheel on and off while updating some of my suspension bits, and I noticed that the rear brake line bracket on the car has slowly been moving up, until two days ago, I found the brake line touching against the body. Specifically, the 1971 240z, car is lowered on cut 280z tokico springs with tokico blue struts, with about a 1 finger gap in the rear on 15x7 -0, 215/50/15 with a rear brake disc conversion using a maxima rear caliper. It seems under hard accelertation, the brake line holding bracket is bending up toward the body, am I the only one with this problem? Could some people who have routed their own brakes, or don't have this problem take a picture of the bracket?

JMortensen Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I had to move my bracket with my early 280ZX setup years ago. I cut the old bracket off the frame and welded it back on a couple inches over and just bent the hard line as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks for the response Jon, I think I may have to consider relocating that bracket as well, either that or cut out the lip that juts out from the unibody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
