I designed the full brake line routing in CAD, accounting for tight clearances around major components like the water pump, fuel tank, and suspension control arms.
Key Considerations Included:
- Maintaining a minimum 2-inch bend radius to prevent line fatigue
- Using angled fittings to avoid interference with heel cups (Ergonomics)
- Including 3 inches of slack per line for motion and installation tolerance
- Splitting routing into front and rear line assemblies for modularity
After CAD validation, I created detailed technical drawings specifying hose lengths, materials, and fittings, and coordinated fabrication with an external supplier to ensure fit and function on the first assembly.
Results:
- Fully packaged brake system with zero interference throughout full suspension travel
- Enhanced serviceability enabled faster, safer maintenance during dynamic testing and race prep
