WhO can supply supply short metal brakepipe to caliper

[waltraud]

I'm just about to fit new calipers, early 83 style and thought best to replace the old short metal pipes from calipers at same time, anyone able to supply or where from? Thnks Tim

Get a local motorfactor to do it for you ... that's a motorfactor not Halfords. The fittings are commonly available and the hard part is actually bending a pipe that short without kinking it.

Thanks- can anyone on here supply by post? Cheers.

As above, I just measured one with a bit of string, then called into my friendly local garage who do all our families MOT's. They made them on the spot and didn't even charge me! I bent mine round a bit of bar to avoid any kinks. It may seem a specialist job to DIY mechanics like us, but its a daily job at a garage.

**E D I T- if mine were anything to go by (an early 1984), then the pipe to flexi union will be stuck tight, get soaking with plusgas now!!!!
