Brake pipe replacement

[sinbrad]

It's probably the case that the pipe comes flat packed for transport and storage, with only the horizontal bends in it and you have to put the vertical bends in place yourself.

That seems plausible, I've got a couple of things to pick up at vauxhall so will see what they say.

Or if you're not sure just take the pipe off and take to a local garage/motor factors and they should be able to make one up for you.

Cars a daily runner so can only get the pipe whipped off at the weekend but I've got the car back from its MOT and it passed with an advisory on the brake pipe. I think the plastic coating has had a battering but the pipe is ok, if I can replace it I will to be on the safe side

I didnt use 'so many words' I said what I said.. which was intended as providing 'help'. Its up to you how you interprit my words..Good luck.

Yeah cheers, I'm more than capable just don't have the time and if the part can be ordered then fine. I came here to ask for help not to be told in so many words that I should hand it to someone else. I've just spent the weekend under the car replacing the whole suspension so don't think a simple thing of manufacturing brake pipes is going to break me

Got the reg number from Sinbrad, EPC narrows it down to two possible part numbers, they're both specific to the 2.8 engine, but they have different idents - ident codes are normally on a label on the part itself, although being in the engine bay it may be covered in mud. Anyway, you need either part number 8 or 9 in the pic below.

Had a look at this today to and that pip seem to me to be from the master to abs pump and there are no listing for abs to flexi either side I.e need made up from pipe IMHO

Think that’s no.6-7 that’s what pokes it’s head under arch. Then no. 8-9 master to abs then abs to right arch. Well that’s my looking at it.

6-7 are too short, the pipe from rubber hose goes up then back on itself behind strut then bends under wheel arch and goes straight up to abs unit, there are no connections in between just a straight length of pipe?

Yeah, I tend to agree. Think it will have to be made up by hand. I've purchased some new flexi pipes so will have to drain the system to fit them so might as well take off the offending pipe and see what I can manufacture?

If your buying copper pipe spend the extra we bucks for copper nickel or kunifer I think it's called it will out live the shell of the car
