CB Rotohubs

FM Former Member
When I became a member of the clan I purchased Rotohubs. I was busy so I paid a guy to install them. He has been messing with Vw's 30 years. I noticed that the hard brake line enters the the caliper at the bottom, which means the brake line is slightly exposed. Should you run over a board it could bounce up and cut the line conceivably. I doubt CB Performance would design a product like this because of potential liabilty. I wonder if the guy that installed them put the the right and left calipers on the wrong side, or maybe upside down?

You guys that have CB Rotohubs on your cars, where do the brake line enter the caliper?, at the top or bottom? Thanks.

Brake lines on the bottom and bleeder on the top. You don't want the bleeder on the bottom.
My brake lines go under the calipers, but are protected with an outer sheathing. I originally had the lines go up and over the caliper, but the passenger side line came VERY close to my muffler, which sits along side the valve cover.
