Front brake bracket
« on: May 13, 2021, 06:22:30 PM »
Another question on the 400 ...
On the CJ250 the final section of front brake hose is held in place by a bracket which is part of the front mudguard and I assumed this would be the same on the 400 but the mudguard on my bike hasn't got any bracket for this.
Is the bracket a separate part or have I got the wrong mudguard etc?

Cheers,
Andy

Have you got a photo of your front mudguard Andy?

It should be welded on there

Julie, Bryan,
Thanks for quick response.
Here's a photo of the guard,

No obvious sign of a broken off bracket but I don't know where it would have been welded on.
Cheers,
Andy

Just behind the fork leg there are some small bumps in the chrome where the bracket used to be. 🙁

Should be on the inside of the main bracket.
