mk4 van brake lines.....
having had a fancy for mk3/4 escort vans since the age of 13 decided to buy one to play with. that was 3 yrs ago lol. i do bits from time to time but have recently gotten close to sending her to the mot bay. i stripped all brakes, hubs and suspension as well as removing the rear axle to be cleaned and sorted out. the problem is, (after re-building it all) i had to replace some brake lines and now iv got to the laden valve on therear axle and cant remember which way round the lines go!!!!!i know it works with opposite side wheels, ie frot left with right back and so. iv tried to follow the front brake lines and am now totally confused.
hope someone cn help. the reason its taken so long is that im a learner and have had to find out everything along the way. ( or break something trying to fix it then learn the hard way.
with all he problems iv overcome it seems silly to get stuck on something seeming so simple.
than you guys hope someone spares the time and knowledge on this as iv looked everywhere!!!!
