Brake pipe unions - advice please

[Blink]

I can't find half the stuff now - they've ruined it. It might be improved for them but it's not for us.

Btw, part number for bracket #17 is SHU100250.

Here's one http://www.gasgoo.com/showroom/a066/auto-products/1199268.html in China!

I started the thread to get advice on undoing the rear brake hose union (the little bracket welded to the chassis - pics at post 7 & 22).

The hoses I bought were supposed to be for the rear calipers - they are both Delphi LH0461. The eBay advert says they're for the rear but (as I've just discovered) the Delphi catalogue says LH0461 is for the front - see here and here.

Rimmers say the rear hose is SHB000851, which has a spring and a metal joint half-way along. - it looks identical to LH0461.

My original factory rear hose (the one I've taken off) does not have a spring and does not have a metal joint half way along - it has a rubber grommet instead, which pushes into the metal bracket on the trailing arm. SHB000851 does not fit this metal bracket, neither does LH0461.

Try this link, I bought these from eBay,

That looks more like it Charles - 56cm long and a grommet. Mine are 56cm long and they have grommets.

This is what confused me: according to Rimmers, the rear brake hose is #15 on this page - https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001566. But Rimmers diagram for #15 and their photograph for #15 do not match. The diagram clearly shows a grommet but the photograph clearly shows a spring. It can't be both unless the spring version fits the metal bracket #17 (which it doesn't).

I’m on the hunt for one of these trailing arm brake hose brackets. Can anyone point me in the direction where I could buy them. Thanks
