i reckon the brake pipes are copper ... hence the corrosion... so u should be able to grind the corrosion off of it ! ...................... or am i mistaken ?????

he said it had gone to thin, so i guess it could do with replacing...

i aint looked yet, prolly have a look at the w/e


oh, also he noticed that the floor pan was ripped away from the sill, looks like the c*nt who last fitted my tyres jacked it up on the floorpan not the chasis rail

no mate, maybe that why im called billy....


still, at the end of the day, if i need a brake pipe, ill need one..

the rest, ie cat back on and borrow some wheels aint hard...

and id rather get the brake done proppa as its quite essential.

brake pipe shouldnt cost much, your local garage will be able to make 1 up,

as for wheels rubbing,just put your originals back on for the retest
