I'm completely stripping my nova to do a full restoration and in the process i have broken a brake line removing it from the servo, so it got me thinking about replacing the whole lot.

what have you guys done in the past?

thanks Nick

Replaced them all. Vauxhall routing is sh&te. Make your own up taking your time to bend them over/on something to get a clean bend. don't bend them just in your hand.
Then paint them up nice. Looks way better.

Also when uing new brake pipe, there is a knack to unwinding from the roll so you dont put umpteen ripples & kinks into it.

All you need is a flaring tool, the necessary pipe fittings for the master cyclinder & hose ends etc & your away. Practice a few flares & then go for it.
