You're right - at 1mm it's half as thick as the original. But it's only supporting the joint between the rubber flexi hose and the short (~3") u-shaped pipe in the back of the calliper. So the only pull on it will be from the tension in the flexi at full lock - I reckon it'll be fine for the time being.

Yup.....be fine until you can pick up a replacement.

Ooh, now that's a generous offer, thank you Keith. I'll do that. And given the apparent non-availability of that part new in this part of the world, you may find others will be interested in due course.

Cheers

Wow - they look fabulous. When the rest of my van rots away it's nice to know these two bits will be as good as new. Many thanks Keith.

No problem......

Me too, rare to find parts that are superior in quality than the originals. Would you mind sharing with us how you made these? Thanks.

Ps. Will these make the value of my van shoot up to near the £20 k mark????

Is that an early van thing? Looks differerent on my late van

Keith...you never cease to amaze me ....CNC laser cut and made of stainless, better than the original.
