Issue with HR disc brake system, Warning

[Finny]

When HR disc brake front end is added to an FB or EK.
It appears that the flexible hose on the front brakes rubs on the wheel on full lock.

The original HR setup used a special spring with a clamp to go unto the flexible hose.
But most of the time the spring/clamp doesn't come with the front end.

Does anyone have pictures of their setup showing the hose and how the spring connects it.

HR drum brake hoses go from a higher spot of the hub and don't seem to have this issue, just the disc brake ones.
Probably due to the fact that it connects to a special "L" plate at the bottom.

Could also be worthwhile anyone who has one checks that the hose isn't rubbing. or that the springs haven't come off.
If it does wear through then you will loose all brakes

Anyhow, if anyone has pictures on how they connect and/or can advise where to get them from (apart from wreckers, if you can find any)

I made my own setup, but it's not that good as they rub on full lock. Needs refining. I'll post pics when I get it right.

Is this what you're lookiing for Finny

[Finny]

Thanks Blue Ute, Yep they look like the ones.
Slightly different to what I remember, but that must be them.

So it's a metal clip that goes over the flexible hose
So where does the other end connect ?
What model car is in the photo's.

Better than my temporary springs. But they work

[Finny]

Can't seem to find anywhere that has these, but others have improvised.
They did seem to be on Drum and Disc brakes







Still not sure where they connect on the frame.

But I'll have a look on my drum brake HR Premier and hopefully it has them.

Is that my EK blue ute?

[Finny]

Did you do a detailed how to change your front end from drum to disc.

Then Yes.......

Have now got my two springs.

Decided to use the ones off the HR.
The springs have cleaned up OK, but I'll make some new metal clips, the old ones were fairly rusted.
