Clutchy pipey on a latey vany

Post by dbz864 »

Hi,ive looked through prev posts! Where my white plastic pipe connects to the metal pipe (chassis) has rusted away,leaking fluid.Looked on bricky werks site the only thing i can see is a braided pipe conversion,which is 45+ odd quid plus pp.Does anybody know a cheaper way?Thanks

Ah just had the same problem, ordered some piping from these guys on ebay. Measure what the length you need, mine was 3m, they will cut whatever size you need and at a good price. Get the Cupro Nickel pipe, better than copper. :D

There are plenty on ebay, some will sell you both, pipe and fittings, you should have no problems there! Good luck.
