ideas about brake kine fix/mount on front strut

[Flojo]

Hello!
I have thaught about those fix-points on the front strut and rear banana.
There you have a brake hose and a brake line to the caliper.

Well, usaually on other cars you have only a brake hose to the caliper, so when you unsrew the caliper you can hang it on a wire somwhere in the wheel well.

Not so with our 911s, which is (somtimes) a nuisance.

Now I thaugt about cutting the fix open so that there is no longer an O-fix but a U-fix.
The brake line can be secured with a cable tie.

Is that totally stupic (a reason I missed?)?
Have you thaught about this too?
If yes, what were your "solutions"?

Don't cut anything, open the brake line!
Push down the brake pedal about one inch and almost no fluid will leak out.

Or just bend the hard line a bit to get the hub/rotor out...

You can use just one longer line from the chassis to the caliper, it's just not as elegant and you still need to restrain the line from flopping around too much. Usually a tie wrap will do.

Thanks for the replies.

It is not that I have a problem on how to handle the caliper e.g. in case of a brake disk change or similar.

It was rather the idea to have a neet quick handling possibility e.g. when you want to effectuate longer/major work on the front axle.

I've seen, that there is a kit from elephant racing, that is fixed rear to the brake disk cover (I guess)



With this you can ignore/cut off the fix on the strut and in case off need, you just unscrew the two bolts and the brake line is "free".

But the price is high...
