I got a set of rear R33 calipers but I don't think they came with the complete bracket to mount the brake pipe to.

On the Z32 caliper the bracket that holds the small hard pipe out to join the flexi hose on the car is one piece.

It won't fit the R33 caliper.

 

The bracket that came with the R33 caliper doesn't have a mounting slot for the flexi pipe so that's no use either.

It either bolts up to something else on the Skyline or there's another piece of bracket screws onto it with a hole for the flexi pipe to clip into.

 

Am I missing something?

How have you all connected up the pipes on these calipers?

I'd thought of just doing away with the bracket and putting the hard pipe straight onto the flexi pipe but then there's no support and it could possibly work the threads loose or snap the pipe with nasty conequences :nono:

I have a set of these but haven't put them on yet, look forward to the answer!

I've had a search but can't find anything about fitting the rears.

Looked like a quick job to fit them both but as usual it's a pain!

Got the calipers on in no time but I can't connect them up LOL

Couple of people have said to just connect direct to the caliper with Goodrich hoses.

Anyone know what type and thread the connectors are to order some?

 

Edit: Been told doing it this way might be an MOT failure??

Looks like the braided hoses from DTA that go direct to caliper will do the trick but I'm still not sure about whether the bracket is needed for MOT reasons.

Go for the Braided hoses, bracket not required then.
