Rear brake lines

The only part of the brake system that is hard to bleed well is the rear and then only when you have the goofy cross over brake line where you bleed everything from the one side. I usually toss this cross over pipe and convert it to a line to each side so it is easier to bleed. You also want to have the rear brakes adjusted well to get a good pedal.

Our car has this goofy setup. I assumed it was a DPO modification. Did they really come from the factory with a cross over, and only one of rear wheel cylinders having a bleed screw?

My setup looks totally f'ed, as one of the brake lines hangs down and looks to be in perfect position to get ripped off by some road debris. It is definitely on the to do list.



Does anyone have pics of a proper setup?
