Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend a supplier for rear brake pipes.

I need the change my rear cylinders but the unions won't budge.

Gonna have to cut the pipes...

yopu can go to a garage and ask them to make you pipes up , Take yours with you and ask them to make them a similar lenght , , but you will need to take all your pipe including the bit you cut off due to the flair on the end of the pipe

That's probably the quickest, easiest, solution. Get them done in kunifer ("copper") with brass unions.

I've a sneaking suspicion that Big Mick at eurocarecare.net will have a pattern for the Cento ones. Worth a call, or pop in if you're local to Derby.

I'm having a lucky run on brake pipes using flare spanners (essentially a 6 sided spanner with a notch cut in to allow the pipe through) and a real penetrating oil (GT-85, Plus Gas).

They are easy enough to make yourself, I say give it a go!

Yeah, but for a couple, I'd question whether it was worth it.

Best idea yet, do the whole run (including the flexis) in braided stainless (Aeroquip, etc.)........

But a roll of copper brake pipe isn't that expensive and you'll have some for next time.
