Does anyone know the part numbers for the rear brake pipes on a 1987 90 with drum brakes?

It's the metal pipes that run along the axle that I'm after, I can find every other piece of the system from suppliers, but not these pipes.
 
get some made up it'll be cheaper! all it is is 4 M10 unions and about 3 foot of brake pipe (get copper or copper/nickel as its better than steel)
 
make your own. £20 for the tool (machinemart.co.uk) and you will use it time and time again. very very easy job to do.
 
Cheers for the replies. :)

2 questions -

1)Would the 110 have the same end fittings as the 90, I thought they had discs on the back?

2)Where would you go to get them made ? (I did wonder if motorbike garage could make up braided stainless pipes to fit?).

1) as far as I know, all pre '93 110's and 90's had drums at rear.
2) If you measure them carefully, or take existing ones with you, then any local mechanic should be able to make them. (Probably - but why braided ones along the axle?)
Cheers :)

The original thought about braided pipe work was because I have done brake lines on bikes in the past and have some idea about how to do it, and the advantage of not going rusty appeals.:D

A later thought after I'd posted was "I've got a roll of stainless hose some where"
I think I'll try poping into a local bike shop and showing them a rear brake cylinder and asking if they can supply end fittings to fit.:)

Cheers,
 
its a standard size union joint. there is only 2 types, metric, imperial. pipe is a standard size too. any motor factors/mechanic will make the pipe for you if you tell them the length. seriously though, consider doing your own. will take 5 mins to make tops!! and will cost about £3. I believe you want a single flare but just copy whatever you have now.

despite what they say on that forum the one in machine mart works ok for a DIYer. pain in the arse for a professional though.
