Re: Flexi pipes
Here is a front on shot of when I had separated the body from the chassis, dunno if that is of any help. If you want the original image RAW or JPG then let me know and I can mail it over to you.

Re: Flexi pipes
From memory the front flexi pipe does not go directly into the calliper as there is a small solid link pipe from the calliper to a bracket fixed to the top calliper mounting bracket.
Sorry no pics but hope this is of some help.

Re: Flexi pipes
I'm having the same problem so if you have a photo of it now, I'd much appreciate it. There may be a bit missing from mine. I don't seem to have a small link pipe as Dan mentioned
