Re: Brake pipes
i prefer making them up myself. ready made ones from the factors are never quite the same length, and if you;re doing the entire car, there will be very little difference in cost

Re: Brake pipes
hi Tim,
I don't have a flaring tool.
I was just going to take the pipes up to my local camberly auto parts, or measure them and ask for some to be made the same length.
You think it would be better if I made them myself?
If so where would I get the pipes and nuts?

What's the deal with bending the solid brake pipe? do you just bend it, or is there a specific technique? and do I just bend it to match the old pipe and follow that ...

Brake pipes
Hi all,
I'm currently making my beloved Mk2 fit for an MOT and VIC check as I wrote it off a couple of years ago and it's been sitting on the drive ever since.
I've come to bleed the brakes and the bleed nipples both broke off at the back and none of the junctions on the brake pipes will unscrew ...
