Brake pipe hell.

Can anyone tell me where I can get replacement pipe from?
I have just changed the brake discs on my disco and was just replacing the caliper when the brake hose has cracked just before the flexible joint causing a leak.
Where can I buy a new piece of beak pipe for the caliper?
Thanks in advance,

Andy

i make me own up.
where are you?

These have been very helpful to me lately. (Not affiliated with them whatsoever)

But if you are on about the copper pipe, then why not do it yourself. Copper pipe and nipples cost me pennies from local part's co. ... got local garage to flare the pipes for a fiver (and still have loads of copper pipe/nipples left over).

Get on ebay and buy yourself a brake pipe kit.comes with 10 fitting and enough pipe to get you going. The flairing tools might not be the best,but its a good start.

Admittedly the cheapy ones (if you buy one) are frustrating and crap to use unless you practise ... hence why I find it easier to get a local garage to do it for a fiver

It's the copper

if you have access to a brake pipe flaring tool it'll be easy to do.
failing that it's a garage job

Remember though ... if a garage flare's your brake pipes they are guaranteed, should they fail

true you can't mess about wi stuff like this...it's gotta be safe

I bet ya, in an insurance claim a self made brake pipe will be declared unsafe upon one of their 'investigations'.

how will they tell one made by you, against one made by a garage?

True, but a phone call to verify can make one hell of a difference if your garage logs all job's done.
