ChrisL - 26/1/12 at 10:13 PM

Hi,

Has anyone got some off cut's of brake pipe that I can practice flaring on?
Happy to collect in the area of Letchworth, Herts or pay postage.

TIA
Cheers chris

If noboby has any offcuts I can post you a couple of foot of new stuff.

I'll have a look tonight as I'm sure I have a few off cuts laying about. As long as u want 3/16 pipe? I

Yes 3/16ths it is. Just don't want to bodge my existing brake line whilst I learn the fine art of brake flaring. Also need to stick a big sign up to remember to put the unions on BEFORE flaring the pipes!


Cheers

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the offer but Nige has sorted me out. If I can't figure out how to flare the pipe I might want to take a trip up the A1 for some advice, but I'll see how I get on first!

Cheers
Chris

No probs, I borrowed a flare tool from Rustynuts on here. Did a great job as it was one of the professional ones as I could not get them right with my own flare tool. Let me know how you get on and if I can be of any help let me know!! My in-laws live in Letchworth so Im there quite often.

Cheers Andy,

I might just take you up on your offer :-)
