Title: Need photo of hard brakeline routing
Post by: mcibmw533 on June 08, 2014, 04:46:17 PM

It's been a while since my car was in operational status.  I labeled all of the hard brake lines during disassembly but a couple of the labels smeared and I'm having a hard time figuring out which ones go where.  What I'm mostly looking for is photos of the hard lines that mount on the engine bay side of the driver's wheel well, between the ABS unit and the firewall.  I believe there's 4 or so hardlines from the ABS unit as well as 2 from the cylinder and I want to make sure the right ones go in the right spot.

Thanks,

Micah

Micah,  sorry for the delay, I meant to do this a while ago and got side tracked.  I couldn't get a good shot, but if your's is like mine, E30 left hand drive, then the letters on the ABS unit terminate as follows and run from top to bottom along fender bracket:

r) runs to passenger front.
v) runs to back side of master cylinder.
?) lower front (couldn't read letter) front side of master cylinder
j) driver front
h) rear "T'

Hope that helps.

Mike
