rear calipers
Im using sierra rear calipers, do i need to run a flexi to the caliper as its a sliding type or is copper line ok.
Or have i got it mounted wrong as the bit that the male fitting screws into floats back and forth.
Cheers

Pretty sure you will need a flexible pipe for the reasons you mention - got mine set up like that anyway.

You need to run a flexi to your rear calipers. Copper would restrict the movement.

Unless the rear caliper will not move in relation to your chassis you'll need a flexi pipe. otherwise a copper one will break.
