L322 Brake pipe replacement

Mark Piercy said:

When I did mine I ended up replacing the chassis to body and the réar arm rubber brake lines aswell. They all broke the pipe ends in the brake flexibles...

Thats what i plan to do change all the flex`s and any rusty pipes in one go, it works out cheaper to buy a stainless braided set of six than but four normall rubber ones so thats the plan.

I have a vid out soon for when I did mine a couple of weekends ago!!

Thanks @wammers
I bought one at the local factors, only one of the cheapy ones {15 quid) but seems to work OK.
One side more or less finished now, other side will be done tomorrow.
Took longer to get the bloody fuel tank cover off than replacing the pipe!
I'm sure land rover have a special supplier of pre-corroded bolts!

That is why they are so expensive. They are shipped out and stored in the Dead sea for two weeks before being returned and fitted. Bit like Alfa Romeo body panels.

All done now.
The leak was where the rubber flexy was crimped to the 45deg rigid on the top suspension arm.
Of course, all the unions were rusted to hell hence why I didn't replace the flexies when I replaced the calipers.
Anyway, all new from the B pillar to the rear now.
Just got to test drive it tomorrow and clean up the unit as we have a machine arriving for assembly on Monday!

Forward of the B pillar and near the footwell are the joins where the body pipe section joins the chassis section. Another meter you can join onto the originals.
It's a nice feeling knowing your brakes are upto scratch!

Ah well. It was hidden behind a cover and after nearly 2 hours to get the bloody fuel tank cover off I was already reaching for the Swan vestas!
