brake line which is just under the floor pan under the rear seats... looks to be just a connector jo join the brake lines.. has gone all scabby was wondering if when i make up a new line could i do away with this bit???
any ideas..

 

Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the same part, as I have an XR4ti over in the US. There is a "T" on the under side of the car, but I figure that'd be obivious.

If it's quite small, probably just a union. If it's larger, could be the location of the factory prop valve. On the XR though, the prop valve is just under the Master Cylindar and Brake booster.

Doubt that helps but it's worth a shot .

 

take a pic of it, might give people a better idea

 

is this the part in the pic?



if so its a valve which has bearing on brake pressure, correct me if i`m wrong but could be a bad idea to do away with it

 

yes mate thats the one in the last pic.. have already cleaned it up as thought was bit big to be a connector.. many thanks..
