Hello all, hope you had a good Xmas.
I've got to replace the some brake pipes on the front brakes as one is corroded and leaking. Not sure how to replace these? Do I buy a kit and make some myself or are you able to but them already made to shape.
Thanks
Jeff

You could take off the offending pipe and take it to your local car spares shop and they will make one for you.....you just have to bend it to shape. It should be copper so it will be easy. :grin:

i would agree with that aswell. if you do want to make your own you will need a pipe cutter and flaring kit like this..

Copper pipe is around £5 per 25 foot roll, Kunifer is more expensive

You need a special type of cooper for brake pipes :smartass:
normal cooper would crack/split under the vibrations :smartass:
