I have a 94 spi, my car failed on many things on the mot one being a excessively corroded brake pipe which runs from th front to rear. I was just wondering if anyonecould tell me where the front part of the pipe attatchs, it seems to run down the bulkhead but i cant tell where it joins. also is this a hard one to get moving, just replaced a fuel pipe which had very badly siezed unions. =s cheers

it connects to a valve underneath the brake servo on the drivers side from there it runs underneath the car. Shouldnt be difficult to move if you soak the pipe ends in some penatrating fluid for a while. As long as the ends dont round off you should be fine.

If you break anything then these people do all the bits you will need including the flaring tool for the pipe ends.
