The flexi pipe is attatched to the strut via a cable tie. It's the bracket that's attatched to wheel arch just before it attatches to the rigid brake pipe. It's was mot like that so no problems there.

Rubber gromit is missing. Where can I get a new one? will I have to disconnect the brake pipes to put it on (re bleed it)???

I found the problem. Its where the front flexi brake pipe goes through the bracket just before it connects to the rigid pipe. There is nothing stopping sliding up and down on the conector when the wheels travel up and down. Any suggestions on what I can use to stop it from happening. Ill take a ...

Spotted an unusual mk2 near Cirencester. Painted White and sky blue and a picture of the tazmainian devil on the bonnet. Anyone seen this before, or own it?

Iv had a go at the rear ones and they seem to be just as stuck. Any ideas before I end up chewing those up ...

Well, I kept trying and made it worse. Iv ended up splitting the rigid brake pipe. Where can I get a replacement. Its the front nearside rigid break line for a mk2?

Hi, Im trying to fit braided hoses and cant disconnect the old rubber ones from the sold hose at the front. Iv managed 1 side, it went pretty easy, but cant do the other side. Iv soaked it in WD40 and am using a brake spanner (11mm) but its stuck so hard Iv started to round the bolt on the hard hose ...

There was a rust hole so I investigated and it went right through. The whole door is rusted on the inside at the bottom, needs replacing.

Hey, This picture shows the state of the lacquer on my bonnet, its not pretty. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sort it out?
