I was shocked when my garage quoted me £80 to replace the two brake pipes that go on the rear suspention arms. I can get a half decent DIY tool and roll of pipe for half that and do it myself. Im not sure what size i need could any one help please?

 

Hello and welcome to Pf

Size of what exactly are you after ?

Length of pipe, diameter of pipe, size of fittings, tools required etc ?

 

just take the old ones off to use as a pattern and take them to a autoparts shop, they will make them up for you for under 20 quid, then fit them.

I need the diameter of the pipe please.

 

do it my way it's cheaper easier and you don't need the pipe diameter although it is usually 3/16 IIRC

3/16" indeed

 

Thanks a lot i will be ringing round to see if i can get them made up this afternoon and if not will have to do it the hard way. i think im going to get a tool to do it myself in future, it will be a bit of a pain but will save me money in the long run.
