help! anyone replaced the front solid brake pipes???

[F2 Stu]

The whole pipe has to be replaced so to save dicking about you just stick the grinder in there with a sliting disc and lop it off.

Even if you get it loose with mucho Plus Gas & heat, the unions still fecked and would be a total bodge to even put it back.

Being a top notch heating engineer my pipe work bending skills are like an art form. I made mine up from copper pipework, i then flared the end and had a nice fit and finish I knew those pipe benders would come in handy. and not being to cockey mine were better than the factory ones and they work a treat.

You have had excellent advice from Mork, Stu Etc.


P.S I showed mine to the local dealer and it put there attempts to shame. They asked me to do a few up for them.
