Yeah I saw a post online where they'd used the bender and the radius was huge. I've got plenty round things kicking about :)
I've taken your advice and got everything separate as I already have tubing. Saves me £30.
My plan is to take the old pipe out and copy it and do some practice flaring...

Cool thanks :) I liked the look of that tool as you can use it in confined space.

Hi Folks!
Looking to do my brake lines and saw a kit on Ebay from Vintage Warehouse 65...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-10mm-3-16-Copper-Nickel-Cunifer-Brake-Pipe-Line-Repair-Kit-/282028586639?hash=item41aa36b68f:g:DNgAAOSwn9lXK6Wp
Anyone had this kit or know if its any good?

Here is a photo...
The crack is directly behind the copper brake line. Im guessing the whole bracket would need to be cut off and a new one welded on. Or just a repair?

Hi folks,
Just been replacing my 1998 CSW 110 front dampers and noticed a big crack on the left of my driver side spring seat. Still strong but looks like an MOT failer.
How easy or difficult is it to replace a front chassis spring seat?

Brookwells have always provided superb service however. Im...

Hi Folks,
So I bought a Hardy Spicer Propshaft from Brookwell and it arrived in a britpart bag and the cups were smaller than expected. The UJs have HSL on them so maybe they are Spicer. I don't know. When I've replaced UJs before they've had GKN on them and looked more solid.
I've...

I'm not totally sure it is seized. Everything appeared to be working fine until the UJ collapsed so most likely not. I just didn't try shifting it while it was off and appeared solid.
I've seen front prop specs as 60cm fully closed. Does anyone know the fitted length of the front prop...

OH! the existing front prop is 64cm long and appears to be solid or fused with time :)

Hi folks,
Would anyone happen to know a part number for a 2nd Row inertia reel seat belt for a Defender 1998 CSW?
The were chewed out by act of DOG a while back so I'd like to replace them. Cant seem to find a part.
Cheers, Rob :D
