1992 RR Classic Brake Cylinder Pipes

pandasharka · Mar 24, 2011

Evening All,

First time on here, wonder whether anyone can help me please?

I have a 92 RR Classic that has been sat outside my place in Bulgaria for the last 2 years and is a little sad.

Last year we went to the house and tried to get the car going. Overcame the flat battery and then heard an ominous hissing /steam noise from the engine compartment.

It turned out to be fluid coming out of one of the (rusted)pipes coming from the brake master cylinder.

(Car is LPG converted, we thought it was potentially worse!!)

Can anyone tell me whether I can buy standard pipes for these, if so where from?

Or do they need to be specially made?

Many thanks in advance for any assistance here

You can't buy brake pipes you have to make them.

IIRC Rimmers sell a brake pipe set for RRC, all you have to do is flare the pipe and bend it to the right shape.

Had not see those. But serious money for something you can make for around a couple of quid each. You can get the pipe the unions and a flaring tool for less than that.

Here is the set http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID009369 - expensive at around £120 for your car, but it depends on the VIN.

If you can get pipes and unions locally it's best to take off the old pipes and take them with you to the parts shop so you can get a match.

When one of my pipes was damaged I took it to the local parts place and they made it up for me on the spot for a price which meant it wasn't worth me even thinking about doing it myself. As long as the new pipe is the right length you just bend it to shape by hand yourself to fit the car.
