brake flaring tool

[joeSRI]

Anyone got any ideas if this is a s**t deal? I am attempting to do all the brake lines myself!

Also, i have a 94 corsa sri, will the pipes from that fit the nova gsi? :confused:

last time i got brake pipes made they were £20 from a small car shop.both were £20 for a calibra and nova.

Don't bother with that kit, this is one of the better ones you can get without spending a fortune:

I bought mine from here and it's the cheapest I could find it (cheaper than the bay too).

Get your rolls of Kunifer here:

I don't think Corsa lines will fit the Nova, some(all?) of the master cylinder fittings are a different size.

I bought a kit from the bay, pipe, bender (although i havnt used it) and a flaring kit. Think it was about £40, not the best but its fine for my light use.

Corsa lines are totaly differant.

that would be ok for light use with copper pipes ,but no good for copper nickle or steel pipes .

Which one? The original one? The one I posted will do Kunifer no problem.

i have the same kit mate and had no probs with it has done the steel pipes aswell. once you do your brake pipes you will find it no bother.

They are both ment for copper brake pipes as stated in the add , might do copper nickle alright but it would be hard on them , the sealy one is the better one of the two '

It's no harder than copper. You just have to remove the work hardened material (created by the your pipe cutter) first, which for a clean flare you should be doing anyway.

[numptysport1]

any i have used is harder ,maybe you are just stronger than me .

[joeSRI]

would anyone with a kit like to volunteer to make up a full set of brake lines for me? :)
With payment obviously

[AlexW]

If you got ones to copy sure.

[joeSRI]

how would get them to u ? :)

[brainsnova]

you can bend the pipes by hand if your using the copper ones and all you need is the pipe flaring tool.
