So glad I live in a low-salt zone

 

Thanks for the heads up!

Looks like a great place to trap road-salt. Yep I'll be checking.

 

Chuck...
Good thing you've been making those deep water river passes when you are out on your country runs.... Rinses all the salt out of the nooks and crannies...

 

Those minnows become anchovies.....

 

Only under a Fiat..... :smilewinkgrin:

 

I have a brake flaring tool I bought in the 70's works a treat on standard size brake pipes. I just bought 30' of tube and made my own but you can go to most auto stores who sell ready made pipes

 

Most brake lines are steel...

The better ones are copper as far as resisting corrosion...

A little more coin but you won't need to fix it again as you travel down that salt encrusted road in the future...

 

I have used them a couple of times, they are never the right fit. You are so much better off doing up your own.

 

Everything you wondered about with brake lines...

Hope the dead minnows stuck under there don't cause a problem.

 

Just had the same issue and i'm looking to fix it myself. Where did you get the hard brake lines and what size are they?

 

Thank you. That's about what I figured. Appreciate the quick response.

 

That's how my lines were before I replaced them all after removing the ABS pump and put them inside the car.

 

Found this. Brake Pipe
Going to do it myself. Once I figured out it was called brake pipe and not line I was able to find it.
I'll try to take some picts and post. No promises though.
Thanks again.

 

copper pipes? I remember them on the early MG's do they still make them for modern cars?
