Default brake line question

getting rid of the abs properly now and need to know how to re-plumb the brake lines, is there a braided line that can join pipes together or a sort of connector I can buy so I can run the pipes where I want?

Don't want to use second hand parts and want it to look good

cheers

When i did mine i just got some normal copper brake pipe and unions, and just made some little link pipes up. Wasnt too much hastle.

They werent too secure anymore though, so i had to fit a couple of brake pipe clips to the bottom of the bulkhead to stop the pipes flapping about (MOT tester made me do it)

Any motor factors mate.

The pipes only need to be about 7-8 inches long (if that)

Its very minimal patching work

gotta secure my new pipework for me MOT due soon but should look stock as the pipes run quite simply when using existing pipework, and a non abs resorvoir

And what would you know about decent factors Mr Cunt?

£5 a box for latex gloves?

Those shocking HT leads they sold you?
