hi, just changed my rear brake cylinder last night and managed to round off the nut....but managed to get it off with mole grips and a HUGE spanner, hammer and lots of curses!

Anyhow, i need to get a new nut/ screw thingy to fit the copper pipe back into the new cylinder. Tried looking for these on JK and VW Heritage but to no avail. Does anyone know what these things are called, what size i need and most importantly anywhere i can get them from?

Thanks in advance!

Are we talking about the one on the pipe itself? If so you'll need to replace that section of pipe. Most local garages can make one up for you.

Nice one - thanks guys.

As i said, i ended up cutting it off and fitting a new nut on. Luckily my neighbour had a flaring tool...20 mins later voila! fitted like a dream.....
