brake pipes

[greg1.4]

I am needing new copper brake pipes for my nova. I dont have a flaring tool so cant make my own. Can you buy complete brake pipes? I would like to fit a complete set of copper brake pipes then fit braided hoses to replace the rubber hoses.

Most decent motor factors will make them up for you, provided you have removed and given them the old one to use as a pattern. They generally just make them to the required length, then it's up to you to sort out the bends.
The place I go to charged me a tenner for the two solid bits on the rear beam.

wheres that i had to go to practical motoring to get mine cost me 34.28 for 2 full lengths front to back and one side on the rear beam.

Roadrunner on Ings road, thats not a bad price for 2 front-to-rears, the ones I got was a few years ago.

I think you should have Goodridge hoses all the way round the car, like this.
I would say that ...Isell them lol

How much do you sell all 4 pipes for? and the joining bits and whatever else you need to use to fit them. Pm me if you like mate!:thumb:

Id be interested in how much the goodrich sets are, however id need custom lengths as im running a corsa servo.

Whats -3 braided hose?

Does anyone have any links to websites that sell lots/rolls or braided hose?

If i bought plenty of braided hose then will i need joints/special things to connect onto the master cylinder and the calipers/drums? What should i use?

[tom reid]

The hoses for the rears are ?40+post
The fronts are ?60+ post, this includes banjo fittings at both ends and washers.
If bought as a complete car set they are ?100 and free post.
Custom hoses can be made, just need to know pipe length and calipers fitted.

[greg1.4]

will have to buy a set of them! So if i buy the complete kit from you will that be ready just to fit to the car and bleed the brakes?

[tom reid]

Yes

[greg1.4]

any pictures of the kit?

[tom reid]

The pics already posted have the kits in them.

[Stuart]

woah woah woah....

Greg do you need new lines for the entire length of the car, or jsut new rubber bits? If its the rubber bits then yes toms stuff is fine. if its the whole car length then you need either full braided line from master cylinder to the slave (or copper line)

-3 is the size of the braided hose...

[greg1.4]

i need the whole lot! ha ha

I am just going to replace them with copper pipes again and have braided hose to replace the rubber bits. Cheers for your help guys.

I can supply a whole car set for a Nova for ?160 and free post.

how does that work? up there ^ you said they were ?60 for front, ad ?40 for rear (or other way round lol)

The above does not include the TWO pipes that run front to rear.
For a WHOLE car set is ?160.
The KIT is ?100.
Hope that clears up any misunderstanding.
