someone to help with Brake Lines

[JimGSi]

As title really, based in Somerset, really want someone to do them for me, or help me, as I havent the faintest idea, and as they are vital, dont fancy ballsing them up myself.

if anyone could lend a hand sometime, not immediatly, as and when (am in no rush) id more than appreciate it, and would remunerate them in Beer & Food!!!

id also need to be told what to buy as I can build a house, almost replumb and wire a house, but a car??? not a clue!

you'd be surprised how straight forward it is mate. All you need is alot of brake pipe. 20m for a whole car. Unions. These are standard size from local motor factors. Although there is some large some small on the abs. Then a hand held pipe flaring tool. Not too expensive. Its hard to get the hang of Hows the tool works but once you do its all good

 

[JimGSi]

I just don't feel comfortable doing them mate. The ABS is still all connected I think.
Guess I get the pipe from a motor factors?

I also need new fuel lines :/

 

[Astraab]

i can do them and show ya as well if you get the pipe / unions / and flare tool . real cheap tbh mate . how many you need doing?

 

[JimGSi]

thinking I need new ones all round, defo the back two. got a feeling the front ones may still be in place.

 

[Astraab]

well brake pipe you can get from motor factors easy , as stated by dave youll need a good 15 to 20m of pipe for whole car . youll need male and female unions and a brake flaring tool . you can get it all from motor factors including a cheap flaring tool . be warned tho if you buy the harder brake pipe and a cheap in situ flare tool the outcome wont be good lol . but copper pipe is fine so there wont be a problem . also and 11 and 14 mm spanner for the unions and a hacksaw and fin file to clean the pipe ends once cut .. like i siad if you can get the stuff i dont mind coming and helping for some petrol tokens bud

[Astraab]

[Astraab]

he has a 4wd astra mate , will probly need custom ones made

 

[tintin]

Lol, i can see a small problem there then.

 

[JimGSi]

Im not entirely sure I will need custom ones, as I'm using the mk3 floorpan, as opposed to the calibra one, but with the Calibra running gear.

I may have to do custom ones if I fit the mk4 ABS pump though, not sure how different it is from a mk3 one!

 

[Astraab]

will be different mate as the brake hoses will be in a different location going from a solid beam to indapendant hubs , not saying theres guna be loads of difference but will be abit i imagine due to chassis mod
