Brake fittings on a Red 9 wishbone setup

[Mags]

Tried to fit my calipers on my Red 9 Wishbone setup today and think I may have the wrong flexi pipes and interested to see what others have done for the brake bracket where the flexi meets the solid pipe.
I had to cut off the OG bracket as it fouls the Red9 setup and it comes with a bracket as part of the top wishbone mounting. But if I decide to drop the mounting lower I don't know if that will work as the solid pipe will be connected to the wishbone mounting that will rise/fall? I probably should have welded new brackets to the chassis but its all painted now so too late.

The flexi pipe I was advised to use is for a split, the male end screws into the caliper but it bottoms out before a copper washer would seal it and the male end of the pipe curves inwards slightly, as if to fit a solid pipe. The caliper fitting looks like it requires a tapered style end on the thread if that makes sense.
Here's a few pics, hope someone can advise.

you fitted the flexi upside down.

the coppers pipe should go into the top of the bracket. the flexi should go under the bracket. The fitting will be fine as has taper on outside. Mine is same and doesn't leak

Cheers, Yeah I flipped the pipe round but must have taken the pics before doing that.
Your solid pipe takes a totally different route to mine, looks like yours runs right over the red9 to the front of your arch, mine were going at a tight angle through the chassis hole just above the top of the wishbone, have you done something different there?
Are you running 185c 14 tyres there as well? You've got a nice stance, I'm thinking I should drop the red9 down another hole, Ive started at the highest setting.

i just followed the route of the original hard line. I think that's probably a model year difference as yours has later chassis style with twin chassis legs.

My tyres are 185/65/14 and beam is set one hole from lowest. I didn't adjust the coilers at all, just some tuning of the damper ride stiffness

Thanks, I've used a different route for the copper pipe now, this way I have some adjustment if I decide to drop the front end lower.
