Title: Brake Pipe Replacement
Post by: Figureman52 on 16 August 2016, 20:41:26

Does anyone know the length of the front to rear pipes and what fittings are on each end?

I would like to order replacements before removing the originals if possible.

Thanks.

You'll be making new ones from the same 3/16" cunifer tubing that every European car has used for decades. It's sold everywhere in 25foot coils, which cost about a tenner and will replumb most of the car. You'll need metric fittings(they're M10x1mm pitch, but no one will ask beyond metric), which cost a few pence each. A few each of male and female will do.


This job will require a flaring tool, and a tube cutter and small pipe bender will make it much easier.
