Brake vacuum

Post by Pummer67 »

Hi all. My brake pedal has gone extra hard and they are not working on my 79 t25. I found the vacuum pipe in half about 1 inch from the t piece which links over to other carb but I can't for the life of me get the remaining bit of pipe back onto the t piece. It's threaded so made we wonder why it's threaded. Is there a special piece of pipe that is slightly larger at the end that I can get. The rubber pipe that I need to join on goes about another 150mm before going through the non return valve and then probably another 100mm before it's jubilee clipped to another pipe which then goes out of the engine bay. I can't find what I may need to repair this. I was going to go to a pipe specialist tommorow but wasn't sure if there's something specifically designed for these.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Mark

The servo hose should just be push in
It should look like this.

Great pic. It does look like that apart from not connected to the t joint. Does the pipe push inside the t. My t is metal and has threads on it. Yours looks rubber.

Yes it should be rubber and just a push fit.

Ah ok. Brilliant. I'm starting to think mine is a 15mm compression t for plumbing.

Thanks for help. Got my new rubber t piece yesterday and took two minutes to fit today. Mine was a compression t for 10mm pluming. As soon as I changed it it started running so sweet in comparison to how it was running.
