But, if you're thinking of doing more maintenance on other vehicles, then a better flaring kit might be required - certainly I have a sykes pikavant flaring tool which I'd highly recommend - a search on here should find you other flaring tools which folk recommend. I have heard stories of copper not being suitable but all the local motor factors only sell copper and I've seen copper pipes fitted by garages. The fuel carbon filter was unbolted and moved to the side to enable better access to old pipe removal and new pipe installation.

I can get 25 feet of copper on my way home from work tomorrow however if I go for Kunifer I've got to mess around with delivery which i'll miss then have to go & fetch it at the weekend. My Z is 18 years and has advisories on its last mot for corrosion of the front steel brake pipes. I had a good look around the rear end of the car and there where brake lines in some places around the nearside wheel arch and above the diff where the integrity looked dubious. Hence my next challenge, could all of the rear fixed steel brake pipes be replaced with Kunifer having access to only a set of car ramps and axle stands? I searched the forums and found plenty of good general information on replacing brake lines generally and the tools required but nothing I could find to specific to guide me. Goods news is that it can be done. Having recently retired must admit I have the time to spend doing this hence scope eventually turned out to be: You need a good pipecutter and particularly a good solid flaring tool. Mine is an old Sykes Picavant. Weighs plenty but does a good job. Be part of the club that brings you the Fun Run, the Hot Rod Supernationals, the Nostalgia Nationals, the Hot Rod Drags, and more.

In a hydraulic braking system, the brake pipes of the vehicle are filled with the brake fluid reservoir integrated with the brake master cylinder and connected down to the slave cylinders in each wheel underneath your vehicle. Although copper is readily available cheap, I wonder why maunufacturers don't use it as factory fitted. There must be a reason. i would rather pay more and do the job once, right, than find out it could have been done better once I've used copper. If you see what I mean. I've removed copper pipes off cars which I'd only fitted it a couple of years previously and aren't wasn't happy about reusing as they SEEMED to have aged or however you describe it.
Just a little note to express my satisfaction regarding your supply of a complete brake line set for my Fiat 500. The lines went in easily, bent nicely into shape and the dimensions were exact. Little extras, highly appreciated: nice box containing the parts, protective caps, each line individually marked and using the number scheme made identification a breeze. To anyone requiring brake lines I will definitely recommend Automec." Mr. H Van Triest The cost difference is minimal and is a no brainer really, Volvo were the first to use it on production cars i believe.of the things on my “to do” list before the next MOT is to replace the rear brake pipes, one of which is corroded and has been covered (flagged on the last 2 MOTs) and has been in that state since I bought it. Our brake pipe sets are assembled with pride for your specific vehicle.Each pipe is cut to the correct length, fitted with solid brass unions and marked clearly to indicate the correct location on the vehicle. I'm going for braided hoses where movement is needed, which is only from the inner wing to the suspension struts at the front and then a 3rd to the rear axle, the rest is to be solid pipes.
