brake problem

Good morning all, hear's an interesting brake problem, to start with I have new wilwood calipers mintex pads new disc's with bespoke mounting brackets on triumph up rights all set dead true, wilwood master cylinder with a short metal pipe to a t piece and then from that to each side of the chassis onto a brake hose, under notmal braking it pulls up in a straight line but if you brake hard it will pull to the right the only thing I can say is the metal pipe from the t piece to either side if a difference length, I'am going to replace the flexi hose's today but apart from that I'am at a loss..any idears.......

The relative length of the pipes from the T has no effect. If thr drt up is sd you say then it's most likely not a brake issue and more likely corner weight/geometry.

As above, i'd have a look at the suspension geometry, the steering angles might be shifting as the weight transfers forward

Pressure in a hydraulic system is equal, pipe length makes no difference.

Could also check that you bled calipers using all 4 nipples on each side bottom first then top.

If the bleeding does not fits the issue, then look for a restriction in a fitting or hose on the LEFT HAND side. I had the same problem and it ended up being a crimp fitting on a custom made SS brake hose that was restricting flow. davew
